BESPOKED London 2026 Builds Momentum with Expanded Programme Four Weeks Ahead of Opening

With just four weeks to go, BESPOKED London 2026 (24 – 26 April, UNIT08 Peckham) reveals more of its constantly evolving programme, as the world’s leading handmade bicycle show returns to London for its 15th year.

This year’s edition brings together top tier framebuilders, component and accessory manufacturers from across the world, including Quirk Cycles, Clandestine and Wizard Works, showcasing truly exceptional handmade bicycles defined by innovation, precision and detail.

Alongside the exhibition, BESPOKED continues to expand its programme, creating more ways to engage with the ideas, people and processes behind the bikes.

TALKS, CONVERSATIONS AND STORIES FROM ACROSS CYCLING

Curated in collaboration with Tailfin, Albion and Ultrascape Podcast, the talks programme brings together leading voices across framebuilding, design and riding culture.

Across the weekend, conversations will span urban mobility, product development and life on the road, with contributors including Cy Turner (Cotic), Weronika Szalas, and the teams behind Tailfin, Albion and Hex Components – offering insight into the thinking, process and lived experience shaping contemporary cycling, with further speakers to be announced.

THE CONDOR MAKERS AREA: HANDS-ON AT THE HEART OF THE SHOW

New for 2026, the Makers Area introduces a dedicated space for participation, experimentation and making.

A rolling programme of drop-in workshops invites visitors to engage directly with materials and processes – from customisation and repair to creative, hands-on activities led by Condor, Albion and RTiiKA.

A limited number of ticketed sessions will also be available, including a head tube badge workshop with artist Billie M Vigne and Stayer Cycles. Tickets for selected sessions will be released ahead of the show, with additional availability on the day.

INTRODUCING THE APOCALYPSE RALLY

Replacing the much-loved apocalypse themed car park crit, 2026 sees the launch of the Apocalypse Rally, a new live event developed with the support from Brother Cycles and Sentient works.

Taking place on Saturday at 16:00, the rally will send a dozen Apocalypse themed bikes out of UNIT08 and into an apocalyptic assault course around London.

MORE TO COME

Further programme details, ride outs and additional announcements will follow in the coming weeks.

A MOMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY

“There’s a level of detail in these bikes that only really reveals itself up close. You can’t replicate that through a screen – you need to stand in front of it, speak to the builder, understand the intent behind every choice. That’s what BESPOKED offers. Fifteen years in, returning to London – especially Peckham – brings fresh context and a new audience to that experience.”
