Where to meet singles
Not every first meeting starts online. These are real places and groups where people get talking.
Walk with West Herts Ramblers
Based around Hemel Hempstead and St Albans, the group walks most Sundays and often on Tuesdays, usually 5 to 12 miles, with pub lunch walks and social events too. New walkers can try a couple of taster walks before joining, booked through the group's website.

Walk with North Hertfordshire Ramblers
The group lists morning and all-day walks of about 3 to 10 miles from villages around Hitchin, Knebworth and Codicote. Walks start at a set time and place, often a village pub, so you get a chat at the end too.

Join a Cassiobury nature reserve work party
Reserve work parties led by a Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust officer meet at the Hub in Cassiobury Park at 10am on the third Saturday of the month, with a break in April and May for nesting birds. You need to register with the Wildlife Trust first.

Litter pick in Cassiobury Park
The Friends of Cassiobury Park run a monthly litter pick, usually on the third Saturday, collecting tools from the Hub between 10am and 10.15am. It is a simple way to meet neighbours and get to know the park.
