About this Event
The After Work Club: Social Hike up Pen-y-Ghent ⛰️
In partnership with Hike Club, Tenzing & Hip Pop
We’re doing something a little different…
This time, we’re taking The After Work Club out of the city and into the Yorkshire Peaks for our very first social hike and you’re invited.
Join us for a guided group hike up Pen-y-Ghent, one of Yorkshire’s most iconic peaks, as we bring together ambitious, like-minded professionals for a day of fresh air, good chats and shared achievement.
This isn’t just about the summit (though the views are worth it). It’s about connection. Slower conversations. New friendships. Stepping away from screens and into something energising and different.
Whether you’re looking to meet new people, expand your circle, or network professionally or socially this is your chance to do it somewhere unforgettable.

Why join?
Because sometimes the best networking doesn’t happen in a bar.
It happens mid-climb.
Sharing snacks.
Cheering each other on.

This is your chance to get out of the city, challenge yourself, and meet genuinely great people while doing it.
