Afterparty

Socialising and a well-deserved rest at The Steel Yard, an entertainment venue in three giant arches under Cannon St station in Central London

After the WNBR London ride on Sunday 14th June 2026 – Your entertainment will be in two sessions from 8pm with life drawing at 7pm for early arrivals. Doors and bars open at 6pm.

The afterparty is open from 6pm on ride day – Sunday 14th June 2026. As well as food, drink, socialising and a well-deserved rest, there will also be entertainment in two sessions with an interval. Like last year, early arrivals can also enjoy a life drawing taster session – either drawing or as a model – go on, give it a try! The main entertainment starts at 8pm to give riders time to go home, drop off their bikes and travel to the venue.

In keeping with WNBR norms it will be clothing-optional – you can be bare as you dare. There will be some naked people and some dressed people – please respect others’ personal choices and preferences. No sexual behaviour or arousal is permitted – security will remove anyone behaving inappropriately! There will be a designated “do not disturb” zone with its own bar where people can relax without unwanted attention – this will be enforced by our professional security team.

Participants in the ride can get discounted tickets. Fastest 50 get even bigger ones! Tickets are not yet on sale.

Entertainment

The show

Details to be confirmed.

If you are particularly keen to get a good view, make sure you are at the performance area early as we expect quite a big crowd!

Life Drawing

While people are arriving for the big show, we will have some fun with a life drawing session, hosted by tutor Willoh, There will be some experienced models to draw and some materials to use but please bring your own sketchbook if you prefer.

You can just watch although we’d love you to try out life drawing, whatever you skill and experience. We are also encouraging people to try out life modelling. All you have to do is stay still for say 5 minutes and let people draw you – go on, be brave, it’s easy!
