Providing opportunities for a wider social life and for learning new things
Now that the Covid restrictions have been relaxed the Barkway Community Group is up and running once again and is organising event and activities for people in the village of Barkway and the surrounding area.

************
The North Hertfordshire village of Barkway lies just south west of Royston. The village has a long and chronicled history and in recent times has seen a number of changes.
With over 800 residents and typical of villages of this size, Barkway is an active community, with many organisations and societies. Residents can participate in various activities including history, drama, sport, bell ringing and much more. The village even has a monthly film show in the village hall.
One of the main groups in the village is the Barkway Community Group. Set up over 20 years ago, this organisation is for everyone in the village to enjoy and began as a way of enabling people of Barkway and the surrounding area to get together on a regular basis, with a particular focus in mind.
The activities are varied. They are put together by a committee of seven who meet regularly to plan what they think participants might enjoy.
Events and activities include:
· Visits to famous buildings and gardens such as Anglesey Abbey and Cambridge Botanical Gardens
· Very popular lunches at local pubs and restaurants
· Delving in to the history of Barkway and some of its residents
· Regular quizzes and arts and crafts sessions
· Travel talks
· And much more
Events are advertised in The Diary; on the village notice boards and can be found by clicking on the link at the top of the page.
If you see anything that you fancy, please contact the person named in the advert. Or for general information, please contact [email protected]
The Barkway Community Group is a proactive group and interest in its activities has increased in recent times. The group is always looking to widen its appeal and ideas for events and activities will always be welcome.
