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!

See all- Myrninerest The Outside,Inside Life of Madge Gill - a play by our James KenworthQueens Park Arts Centre, Queen's Park, Aylesbury HP21 7RT, Aylesbury
**THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO A LEAD ACTOR BEING UNAVAILABLE**
Support fellow Berkhamsted Social member the playwright James Kenworth and his new play about Outsider artist Madge Gill. A review says The Spirit Guide retains an element of mystery but also takes on the narrator’s part at the half way point, another compelling theatrical device on the part of Kenworth. She has a fine rapport with Pryce, who hold the whole evening together with a gutsy yet wryly humorous portrayal of a figure who must remain in some ways beyond rational explanation.
Starts at 7.30pm arrive in good time to find parking. Buy your £10 ticket here. Note, I will not be able to attend as it is Wine Club.Madge Gill (1882-1961) was an outstanding exponent of mediumistic art and remains one of the foremost British Outsider (self taught) artists. Hidden away at home, she produced a seemingly endless wealth of unique artwork. While connecting to spiritualism, perhaps in response to her own psychological turmoil, she worked on her own terms. She claimed to be guided by a spirit she called "Myrninerest" (my inner rest) and often signed her works in this name.
