We work for FACE Partnership in managing the operational delivery of the Nocturne Series.

The first event of the season, in Smithfield London, was even bigger than last year. with a packed race programme featuring more races than ever before.  An estimated 10,000 people attended the event throughout the day!

Topping the bill was the Elite Criterium with international stars joining the cream of British talent on the start line. We were delighted that HTC's Columbia Mark Cavendish made a surprise visit, having abandoned the Tour de Suisse and returning directly to Smithfield Nocturne on his arrival back in the UK. The crowds also warmly reacted to Cavendish, who was interviewed on stage.

Other events included the Team Challenge, the hugely popular Folding Bike Race, the Elite Women's Criterium, the Cycling Weekly Support Race, the return of the Fixed Longest Skid Competition and a special Architectural and Property Race.

Also new and popular in 2010 was the HTC Bicycle Phone Charging point, the event village of local trading stalls, and the big ‘Live’ screen where you could watch all the racing action.

There was also a great opportunity for cyclists, of all ages, to ride the challenging Smithfield circuit, in the LFA Sky Ride.

We successfully achieved the aim of 2010, which was to increase the scope of the festival around the Nocturne circuit creating more interaction and an enhanced spectator experience.
