# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Carlton Kirby's True Tales of the Tour de France
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 25 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Thu, 25 Jun, 2026 at 09:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: FOLKESTONE TOUR DE FRANCE NIGHT, 25 JUNE 2026: On the eve of the 2026 Tour, Carlton Kirby, the Voice of Cycling, shares inside stories and frank opinions from his 25 years on air.

In an entertaining and revealing evening for all cycling fans, Carlton will be sharing his front-row experiences from his career at the Tour and other big races – plus the lessons he’s learned from life on the road, as a bon viveur in budget hotels across Europe.

Carlton is maybe the last in the line of the great character commentators – cycling’s answer to cricket’s Henry Blofeld, F1’s Murray Walker or darts’ Sid Waddell. He has been in the commentary box for a golden age of British cycling and the evening will also include stories of his not-always-happy dealings with stars including Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish and his own gantry partner-in-crime Sean Kelly. 

This is a chance to see one of TV’s most entertaining commentators and raconteurs in an intimate local venue. Carlton will be in conversation with former Procycling magazine writer Duncan Steer. Tickets are £18.
