What we’re about
Berkhamsted and Tring 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!

This very top tribute band to The Rolling Stones focus on the early part of their career from 1964-1969 including ‘Jumping Jack Flash’, ‘Paint It Black’, ‘Not Fade Away’ and ‘Satisfaction’.
They have been described by The Times as ‘better than the real thing’ and have been revered by both Stones fans for their authenticity and the real Stones who booked them for the band’s birthday.
Costumes are shamelessly camp gaudy and fab, instruments genuinely vintage and the wit is always irreverent. However while the tongue is never far from the cheek they make sure it's never to the detriment of the music.
The two hour show (with short interval) includes not only all the classic crowd-pleasing hits, but is spiced with enough eclectic selections from the deeper recesses of Stones Album archives to satisfy the most demanding of Stones Buffs, all performed with the same vibrantly authentic attack and raw energy that characterised the original Stones shows in their prime.
Times: The show starts at 7.30pm, doors and bar at 6.30pm.
