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!

Sydney Pollack’s taut direction drives this post-Watergate thriller, capturing the paranoid tenor of the 1970s while featuring standout performances from Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway.
Redford plays Joe Turner, a bookish CIA analyst who returns from lunch to find his entire office massacred. On the run, he must unravel a conspiracy that reaches deep into the agency, relying on his wits to survive. Dunaway is a quietly complex ally whose intentions remain uncertain, while Max von Sydow’s menacing presence underscores the constant threat.
Nearly fifty years on, it remains a masterclass in suspense and a reminder of Redford’s singular presence on screen. The Oscar-winning icon and Sundance founder, who passed away in September aged 89, brought intelligence, charm, and moral clarity to a career defined by understated heroism and restless curiosity. He was more than a movie star. He was the thinking man’s leading man, equally at home in westerns, political thrillers and intimate dramas. From Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid to All the President’s Men and The Sting, Redford embodied a rare blend of grace, conscience and curiosity. He was, and will remain, endlessly watchable.
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.3 attendees
