Wat we doen
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!

Critics Consensus
An exquisitely shot showcase for Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung that marks a somber evolution of Wong Kar-wai's chic style, In the Mood for Love is a tantric tease that's liable to break your heart.
Rex Review:
Wong Kar-wai’s romantic meditation of hidden yearning and unspoken connection remains an era-defining masterpiece.
Set in 1960s Hong Kong, it follows two neighbours who discover their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together, they form a connection that hovers between friendship and love, holding back from acting upon their feelings.
The film, like so many of its director’s works, is visually stunning. Every frame feels meticulously composed, from narrow stairwells to rain-soaked streets lit by neon glow. Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung deliver quiet, magnetic performances, capturing every unspoken thought and flicker of longing with subtle precision. Their chemistry is deeply felt, filled with tension and tenderness.
Drama unfolds in small moments rather than grand declarations; a shared meal, a gentle conversation, a brief touch. The recurring nostalgic music, especially Shigeru Umebayashi’s haunting theme, adds to its hypnotic sense of melancholy.

In the mood for loveParking 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.
