What we’re about
Welcome to The Surrey and Hampshire Photography Meetup Group. (formerly Hampshire Photography Friends)
The group was established in 2012 and since then has been the platform for numerous photographic meetup events, and is popular with both established and new members. We are always looking to welcome new members so please join if you like what you see and would like to join in with our activities.
The aim of the group is simple - to meet with like minded photographers to share skills and experience, and to improve our skills in a friendly and social environment. Whether you are highly experienced or a newbie to photography you will be made very welcome. It doesn't matter what type of camera you have as anyone with any camera can take a good photograph.

See all- Hampton Court Tulip FestivalHampton Court Palace, Surrey£5.00
This is a treat of a day out - a visit to the world famous Hampton Court Palace and gardens. April sees the annual tulip festival which this year will be the biggest ever with some 100,000 bulbs covering the grounds with beautiful colours. The gardens cover some 60 acres and should be a real feast to the eye......and camera!
Not only the gardens but your ticket also brings you entry to this magnificent palace. We'll visit Henry VIII's home with the stunning Great Hall and Chapel Royal, as well as the Wolsley Rooms and Palace Kitchen, William III's apartments and even the renowned Haunted Gallery.. There will be multiple photo opportunities.
Cost of Entry: £30.90 adults, £24.70 seniors (please check age on website) - so not a cheap day out but you will get to see so much that I think it's worth it. It is best to book your tickets in advance by navigating to HERE . There may be discounted tickets available if you search on google.
Meetup fee: £5 for each person going.
So we'll meet up outside the main ticket office ( ///helps.chip.forest ) at 10.45 Depending on the weather we can start indoors or by visiting the garden straight away. If any April showers erupt we can dive for cover in the palace). Hopefully we'll have a beautiful spring day but I would suggest bring a small brolly as well.
This should be an amazing day out - hope to see you there.
