Experience Raleigh: Check out our new city-centre cycling hub
Head down to Experience Raleigh on Maid Marian Way and discover Nottingham’s brand-new hub for cycling.
Exciting news from Raleigh HQ! If you haven’t spotted it already, we’ve opened a brand-new Raleigh experience centre – right in the heart of Nottingham.
Located on Maid Marian Way, Experience Raleigh is your one-stop shop for all the latest Raleigh models, ready for you to test out and find your perfect fit. But it’s also so much more than that.
With a friendly team of experts and a whole host of exciting events in the works, Experience Raleigh is designed to act as a cycling hub for Nottingham – a place to learn, chat and connect with like-minded riders across the city. From maintenance workshops and community initiatives to a glorious display of our 135-year history, we’ll be working to spread the joy of cycling – in the city where it all started.
Here’s a little more about what you can expect at Experience Raleigh – and how to find it.
Experience Raleigh – More than just a bike shop
Explore Raleigh’s history
Experience Raleigh may be home to the latest and greatest models from the Raleigh range, but it’s also a celebration of the past. Walking into this big, beautiful space, you’ll find a showcase of Raleigh’s rich history, with pictures and details of all the key moments from the last 135 years.
You’ll also find some of the most iconic bikes from the Raleigh vault on display – including the Burner, the Grifter and a shining limited-edition gold Chopper.
Chat with a team of experts
With a team of dedicated experts and bike enthusiasts on hand, Experience Raleigh is a hub of cycling knowledge. And you don’t need to be shopping to pop in to see us. Whether it’s a specific question about your bike or you just fancy a bit of a chin wag, come on down whenever you fancy – we’d love to chat.
Take part in events and workshops
Over the next few months (and beyond), we’re hosting a range of exciting events and initiatives at Experience Raleigh. Along with maintenance workshops and film screenings, we’ll be coordinating with local schools and organisations to promote cycling safety, creating a community space where people can learn about cycling. We’ll also be working with local women’s and LGBTQ+ groups to organise initiatives that help make cycling inclusive and accessible to everyone.

Browse for your next bike
And, of course, there’s the bikes. Heaps of them. From traditional frames and kids’ bikes to e-bikes, electric cargo models and folding frames, Experience Raleigh is the perfect place to find your next set of wheels. Along with all your Raleigh favourites, you’ll also find a wide selection of bikes from our sister brand, Haibike. Whatever you’re looking for, our staff are on hand to help you test them out and find your perfect ride.
