Since 1997, HALH has organised a garden party or visit for members. Each year the venue changes which gives everyone a chance to see another place in Hertfordshire (or occasionally across the border in neighbouring counties). We try to find somewhere which has a pleasant garden for people to visit or a historic house/church. Notice for each year's Summer Visit is distributed with the Spring mailing.
Our visit in 2026 is to Walkern Pigeon Hut local history museum. Details and a link for booking have been emailed to members. Previous visits have been to:
