Yes. We offer business membership and charity membership. Business memberships are charged at just £180 per year, while charity memberships have all the same benefits but at a reduced rate to support not-for-profit organisations in our community.

We welcome all kinds of businesses in and around Romsey, whether you are a sole trader, small business, charity or established organisation. If you have a passion for community and business growth, you are a great fit. We do not purely welcome businesses based in Romsey, but welcome all those who wish to do business in Romsey, and make our community stronger.

Yes, you absolutely can attend our events without being a member. We offer non-member tickets so you can experience the quality of our community and networking before you join. Just note that non-members will pay an added fee than our members, and you will not receive the other member benefits such as promotional features, speaking opportunities, or website listings.

BHR focuses on genuine connection and mutual support rather than superficial introductions or quick pitches. Our events are designed so you can build meaningful relationships, share insights, and grow your business collaboratively. We bring together a diverse group of local professionals and offer opportunities to learn, promote your business, and build long-lasting connections.

No. One of our guiding principles is that there is no selling at our events. We encourage rich conversations about businesses, shared experiences and opportunities, and referrals come naturally from those authentic connections. This helps keep our events relaxed, respectful and valuable for everyone.

We use a range of high quality, sought after venues in and around Romsey and Hampshire for our events, social gatherings, Coffee Clubs, wellness walks and more. We choose locations that are welcoming and conducive to quality conversation and connection.

Membership gives you access to:

• Free or discounted event attendance.

• Promotion and visibility.

• Training, development and opportunities to share your expertise.

• Introductions and a supportive community network.

• Member welcome pack.

• Members also enjoy deeper engagement with the local Romsey business scene and the chance to build partnerships that directly support growth.

Our ethos is about bringing people together to create a thriving, supportive business community where everyone contributes and benefits. We emphasise genuine connections, mutual support, learning, and creating real value. We also care about the prosperity and wellbeing of the Romsey area as a place to live and work.

Members may be invited to share their expertise at workshops, training sessions or other events where we believe their experience will benefit the group. Let us know what you are passionate about as we are always keen to showcase member skills.

We help elevate your business through our website directory, social media features, newsletter spotlights and introductions across our network. These platforms help you reach other members and the wider local business community.

We are not VAT registered and so membership subscriptions are not subject to VAT.

Joining BHR gives you more than a network. It gives you a community of local business leaders, a platform to grow your visibility and practical ways to build deeper business relationships. If you want to accelerate your business growth through collaboration, shared learning, promotion and connection, our membership supports exactly that.
