My First Event
Choosing an event
With over 1,500 events a year and a variety of activities, where do you start?
We host socials, they’re a great way to meet OutdoorLads and find out about our events.
Walks are a good way to explore a new area, meet members and often end up at a pub.
We hold hostel and camping weekends for anywhere between 6 and 500 members. Our bigger camps have camping areas for new members with a leader on-hand to help throughout the weekend.
Interested in cycling, mountain biking, climbing or bouldering? Check out the event for the level of experience required and any suggested kit.

What can you expect?
Events are run by volunteer leaders who’ll welcome you to the group. Often a short briefing is held at the start to explain the plan for the event. Just let the leader know that it’s your first event and they’ll answer any questions you may have and introduce you to other members.
First event nerves?
Meeting new people can be exciting but also daunting. We’ve all been there and as a new member you’ll be made to feel welcome. We’re a friendly bunch, take the first step, try us out and sign up for your first event.
