Walkabouts

We sponsor free Walkabout groups nationwide to bring people together.

It began with a conversation in spring 2023. Changing working patterns since the pandemic mean most of us spend less time with other people. We wondered how to help as many people as possible to have a monthly opportunity to meet up. So we started organising Walkabouts…

Find a Walkabout near you

We currently organise Walkabouts in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Exeter, St Albans, Leamington Spa and Winchester, and more are being added.

To find one near you, join our “Walkabout – Worldwide” LinkedIn Group and check Ben Brabyn‘s LinkedIn events

Everyone is welcome at Walkabouts and we encourage you to bring a “plus one” – or several.

We typically walk gently for an hour and then head to a bar or pub for those that want to carry on their conversations.

Become a Walkabout host

In case you don’t live or work near one of the existing Walkabouts, we can help you set up a Walkabout in your own neighbourhood.

The commitment is small – just posting details of each month’s Walkabout and providing contact details for people to sign up and find you on the day.

Hosting a Walkabout makes a real contribution to your neighbourhood and community, and it’s easy to get started, so don’t hesitate – contact us today and we’ll help you get going.

Collaborations

Air Aware Labs

We are delighted to partner with Air Aware Labs, who provide personalised health insights from air pollution data. Louise Thomas, CEO, is a regular at our Green Park walks and we use their product Air Track to understand our air pollution exposure during our walks.

Heropreneurs

We welcome Heropreneurs mentors, mentees and friends at Walkabouts. For people making their way into private sector roles, perhaps for the first time, Walkabouts are a great opportunity to meet a wide variety of people in your local community – and for mentors and mentees to catch up in person.

GTA Future of Work

We’re delighted to have teamed up with Global Tech Advocates Future of Work. GTA Future of Work have been highlighting best practices for employers and employees since 2021, enabling them to thrive as working patterns change.

GTA FoW co-founder Zoltan Vass is a regular at the London Walkabout and hosts the St Albans Walkabout.
