Avon Tyrrell’s Bike Club 2024

The perfect skills-building programme for 11-15-year-olds in the New Forest to learn new cycling skills.

We are excited to launch our NEW Bike Club which is suitable for 11–15-year-olds in the New Forest. This programme has been funded by Big Bike Bash who are big supporters of Avon Tyrrell, hosting a large biking event on-site every year in August.

The programme aims to improve participants’ confidence in the New Forest trails by teaching new skills that are linked to MIAS Skills course syllabus and the Velotech bike maintenance Foundation 1-3. Your child will learn more about how to replace and repair and inner tube of their tyre, first aid skills and even how to do bunny hops, rear wheel lifts and jumps safely under the instruction of our highly skilled team.  

This programme has been funded by the Big Bike Bash who hold an event at on-site every year. The event supports the charity, with profits made being put towards our bursary fund which aims to give all young people equitable access to outdoor learning experience, and last year they raised a whopping £29,000! Taking place this year from the 23rd of August to the 26th of August with prices starting from £160 for adults and £80 for young adults. We’re so excited for another year of cycling, activities, and live music on-site. It’s a great weekend for family and friends to get together and enjoy the outdoors! Camping not your thing? Our manor house is also available for bed and breakfast with stays starting at £65pp for the whole weekend. You’ll get a catered breakfast each Friday, Saturday and Sunday and access to communal hot showers, so you can cool and clean off after a busy day cycling!

Contact us via email or call for more information and to book your stay in the manor house.
