About us
Berkhamsted Walks and Social welcomes all friends, new and established, to our group. We do ask members to provide a clear profile photo of themselves. The aim of our group is to provide our members with opportunities to meet 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. We organise film nights, theatre trips, concerts, book club, 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 any expenses but most 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!

Bertrand Usclat and Martin Darondeau’s hilarious laugh-a-minute comedy is a wonderfully chaotic love letter to theatre.
Certain institutions are indispensable if one wants to know Paris. One of these is the Comédie-Française, a national theatre, and one of France’s most revered arts institutions; dedicated to French playwright Molière, but which also puts on plays by other classic French dramatists, foreign greats, and some modern playwrights. The theatre has a dedicated corps of players, and when they join, the have the “de la Comédie-Française” attached to their names. There is one golden rule: the play is never cancelled.
Unfortunately for theatre producer Nina (Pauline Clément), everything is unravelling just three hours before the premiere of her first production – an ambitious retelling of Macbeth. Her lead actor is stuck on a train, tensions are exploding, passions flaring, equipment breaking down and egos are clashing. With panic setting in and the clock ticking, Nina must hold things together at all costs. Will the show go on?
France’s runaway hit comedy is a delicious behind-the-scenes farce which is unafraid to poke fun at the highbrow reputation of French theatre.Parking in Berkhamsted is very difficult but there is road parking along Three Close Lane. Please allow time to find somewhere to park. We meet between (or near to) the two doors in the bar.
