Berkhamsted School

Graham Greene was born in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, on 2 October 1904. His father was headmaster of what was then Berkhamsted Boys’ School. Graham became one of the most successful British authors of the twentieth century, writing novels, film reviews, plays, short stories, essays and travel books. Many of his novels have been turned into films and his most famous works have been translated into a large number of languages.

The Trust has organised the Graham Greene International Festival in Berkhamsted every year, bar two  since 1998. It is currently a four-day event. We are very proud to call it an ‘international’ event as each year we welcome and entertain old and new friends from across the world.
