Berden Social Club was formed in 1971 after the closure of Berden's last pub, The Raven. It's object, as enshrined in the constitution, is "to provide such facilities for the benefit of members, and their guests, as may be required by members for the enjoyment and promotion of social and sporting activities." This rather dry phraseology in no way reflects the atmosphere at Social Club gatherings!
.

The club is open every Friday night in Berden Village Hall from 8.30pm. There is a licensed bar, manned by social club members, and typical pub games such as pool or snooker, darts, table tennis, etc., are available for those who want to do something more energetic than sit around the fire putting the world to rights.

The Club also organises a wide variety of events throughout the year, some on Friday evenings, such as quiz nights or gastronomic evenings, and bigger attractions on Saturdays, such as the Midsummer Ball or Barn Dance, the Progressive Supper, Valentine's Dance, and Bonfire Night. There is a patio area outside the hall, which is used on some Friday evenings or Sunday lunchtimes in the summer for family barbeques.

Membership of the Club is open to all adult residents of Berden, and to non-residents of Berden who are "connected with the village by reason of work or social activity".

Memberships fees are £5 for a couple, which also covers all resident children under 18 for family events, and £3 for a single, including all youngsters still at home but over 18. Pensioners pay a reduced rate. There is also a one-off joining fee of £1 a couple and 50p for a single. Membership gives entitlement to discounted tickets at events that are also open to members' guests, as well as the opportunity to use the club. Guests are welcome on Friday nights, and to other events, but need to be signed in by a club member.
