What we’re about
Berkhamsted Walks and Social welcomes all friends and residents, new and established, to our social group. The aim of our group is to provide our members with opportunities to meet new people with similar interests and to make new friends who want to get out and about in the local area. We offer three walks per week (two midweek and one weekend) in the surrounding countryside. We also offer a range of other events and have a strong commitment to supporting our local community and local events. As well as our regular walks, we also organise film nights, theatre trips, concerts, book club, the wine club, pub nights, meals out etc.
We are looking for new, committed hosts with fresh ideas, too, to help our local group grow and develop, offering a range of regular and new events to suit the different interests and tastes of our members.
Some events will have a small cost so that the organiser can cover the Meetup subscription fee and other expenses but many events will remain free of charge. As walks are our most regular events, we ask members to donate £1 towards our costs. We ask that all members keep their RSVPs up to date and respect the efforts made by all hosts in offering local and varied events for our enjoyment.
Look forward to you joining us at an event soon!

Book festival ticketsAbout:
Welcome to the sixth BerkoFest Book Festival, which will, again, like our previous Book Festivals, have an exciting mixture of internationally acclaimed names. Ranging from Sunday Times top-selling fiction and nonfiction writers to musicians to comedians to scientists, and sports people, many of whom have won prizes and awards in their areas of expertise.
The venue on Sunday November 2nd will be Berkhamsted Town Hall, which offers great charm with its Victorian architecture and modern accessibility and is situated on the High Street, in the middle of Berkhamsted. The events will be held in Great Hall and the book signings will be in the Sessions Room.
As usual, there will be author talks, readings, Q&A sessions, panels, and book signings. These sessions will be hosted by Robin Ince and Nigel Barden.Parking is tricky in Berkhamsted. The best option is the Canal Fields car park which is free but has a 4-hour limit. The Water Lane car park (behind Tesco Express) is pay and display.
