Glenland Picnic in a Barn encore

BVRT Glenland BBQ in a Barn – Ride, Feast, and Explore Somerset’s Back Country

A unique cycling and foodie adventure hosted by the BVRT Users Association.

This even is so popular, we've decided to run it a second time this year as an encore...

Ride with us from Harlin along the BVRT to Moore before heading out over an historic stock route and a mix of gravel, forestry and quiet country roads. Our destination: Glenland, a working cattle property with a spectacular rustic barn normally reserved for weddings and private functions.

We’ve hired the barn exclusively for this event and lined up adelicious BBQ buffet by R & K Caterers, showcasing generous country hospitality in a setting surrounded by rolling hills, wildlife, and classic Somerset scenery.
