Local Clubs
Ilkley Cycling Club
The Vaults provides a fun and vibrant meeting ground for the
Ilkley Cycling Club every Thursday night once they have finished their evening ride. Upon arrival the cyclists satisfy their hunger with an extensive range of cask ales and wines before being treated to a selection of hot food snacks which often includes chips, samosas, garlic bread and much more.

Out The Saddle – Michael Harris
Out The Saddle print works can be found littered around
the Vaults. Their creater Michael Harris is a keen cyclist
and is often found having a pint following one of his rides
in the local area, which are the inspiration for
his pristine prints.
