Pedal & Connect: New Forest Networking

Join us for a networking experience on wheels, designed to bring together the people shaping the visitor experience in the New Forest. This event is more than a bike ride—it's an opportunity to connect, learn, and deepen our collective understanding of the Forest’s rich ecology, history, and culture.

👉 A leisurely social bike ride suitable for people who already ride bikes
👉 Insights into the Forest’s wildlife, flora, and fauna, shared by passionate attendees
👉 Networking with like-minded individuals who care deeply about the visitor experience

Whether you manage heritage properties, provide accommodation, are a Commoner turning out animals, work in hospitality, or lead marketing for a local business, this event is a chance to strengthen connections and share expertise—all while enjoying the landscapes of the New Forest.

• Expand your professional network within the New Forest community
• Gain fresh insights into the Forest’s ecology and visitor experience
• Collaborate with others who share your passion for enhancing this remarkable destination

• Suitable clothing
• What you need to fix a mechanical on your bike
• Snacks
• Lights

The contact details of all attendees who sign up via Eventbrite will be shared with the group after the event to foster continued connections.

This is a social ride, not guided which means you are responsible for yourself and your decisions.

In order to create a space where connections can be developed, spaces are limited to 12.
