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!

The RexFresh off the Conclave award circuit, Ralph Fiennes leads this stark, grounded take on Homer’s Odyssey.
Director Uberto Pasolini delivers a stripped-down adaptation, focusing on the story’s raw emotional core. Fiennes stars as Odysseus, returning home after 20 years of war, presumed dead and unrecognisable. His kingdom is in chaos, and his wife Penelope (Juliette Binoche) is under pressure to choose a new husband. Amid political turmoil, Odysseus must reconcile with his past before reclaiming his family and throne.
Fiennes and Binoche, a third reunion for the pair, anchor the film with two expert performances that are haunted by a sense of loss and resilience. Fiennes, playing a physically and mentally scarred Odysseus, captures the duality of a broken warrior who retains the cunning of his past. His portrayal is understated, deeply human and striking in its vulnerability. Binoche, regal and sharp, mirrors this complexity as Penelope. She is grieving yet determined, grappling with her personal and political struggles.
It’s a film that excels in its simplicity, forsaking the grandiose for an intimate meditation on the lasting scars of war.Trailer
The ReturnParking 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.
