'Your World' - A window into life since lockdown
We invited you to share aspects of your life since lockdown through art for our first ever online exhibition. Find out more and see some of the wonderful entries so far on the 'Your World' Exhibition page.
Community Textiles Project
Be part of an exciting textiles project to celebrate our beautiful town! Led by our amazing volunteer Teri, we're creating a banner depicting much-loved places in Berkhamsted - to be hung in the Town Hall when life returns to normal. More information is on the Get Involved page.
Open Door Closed Until Further Notice
