HALH Summer Visit

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.

This year, to celebrate our 75 years we were treated in May to a guided tour of Rickmansworth's lost buildings and a visit to Three Rivers Museum. We hope to have a second visit later in the summer.

Details of our Summer Visit 2025 to follow.
