Events at Beulah Arboretum
2024
The pond at Beulah Arboretum was host for an open-air baptism for 6 people in August 2024. They were fortunate with the weather and everyone was invited. A baptism is a public declaration when someone has become a Christian. It’s a wonderful and very special event.
Mental Health Swims
Mental Health Swims is an award-winning, mental health peer support community. They host free, safe and inclusive swim meet ups nationwide.
They welcome anyone along to their swims and are proud to have more than 150 swim locations UK-wide and beyond. Participants can swim, dip, paddle or toe-dip and can do what they are most comfortable with. MHS are firmly focused on dips, not distance and community, not competition. They have trained more than 350 volunteers to facilitate inclusive, safe and welcoming swims.
The pond in the arboretum is the venue for Berkhamsted South MHS group. Dates and times of swims are posted both on the MHS website and mhs_berkhamstedsouth on Instagram. It is hoped to host swims approximately every two weeks.

Our three charming hosts by the pond in which the group swims. The pond is about 30 by 25 metres. It has over 100 water lilies, a few of which are in the picture, just coming into bloom. The water is clear and nearly 2 metres deep.”
