Blair Drummond Safari Park to host evening bike event to boost neighbours' fundraising effort
This year, Camphill is aiming to raise £6000 to help its community for adults with learning disabilities and additional support needs to purchase adaptable bikes.
Camphill Blair Drummond Bike Safari is back for 2025.
On Saturday June 14, the gates to Blair Drummond Safari Park will be open for the special annual event - the 10th - which give people the chance to cycle or walk around the park at night - for a great cause.
This year, Camphill Blair Drummond is aiming to raise £6000 to help the community - which neighbours the safari park - to purchase adaptable bikes for its residents and students.
Camphill Blair Drummond is a unique community in central Scotland, that provides a safe home with meaningful work opportunities for adults with learning disabilities and additional support needs.
Its aim and approach is one of realising the potential of everyone involved in its community by recognising that everyone belongs, everyone is equal and everyone has something special to offer.
A spokesperson said: 'This year we are raising funds so we can purchase a range of adaptable bikes for our residents and students to use.
'Cycling is a great way for our residents and students to keep fit and active and these bikes will open that opportunity up to everyone in our community.'
Registration/tickets cost: adults £14.25 (including £1.75 Eventbrite fee); children (under 16) £8.83 (including £1.33 Eventbrite fee); family (two adults plus two children) £33.22 (including £3.22 Eventbrite fee). There will also be tickets available to purchase on the night (cash or card).
Registration starts at 5.30pm and the event starts at 6.30pm.
While everyone can finish in their own time, everyone needs to be out of the safari park by 8.30pm.
Snacks and drinks will be served in the Eastwood Building during the event, finishing for 9pm.
Those taking part should bring their own bike and safety helmet, plus clothes for all weathers.
The event is not a race and is suitable for all ages and abilities, but participants are asked to take care of other cyclists and walkers and cycle at a reasonable pace.
Tickets and information for the event can be purchased through Eventbrite:
