Events for Beginners

Hi all
After always doing road/communter cycling, I've just a new mtb (Decathlon Rockrider 8.1) as I want a change and want to do mountain biking off roading, something I've wanted to do for a long time. There is a local group that I am going out with but was looking for any advice/guidance on what sort of events were good to start off with, as a beginner in this area?
Thanks for any advice
