August Bank Holiday Weekend - Things to Do, Events & Activities in Surrey

Okay, so we might be a little biased at Visit Surrey, but we really think there's no better place to be over the August bank holiday weekend than in Surrey. 

Exploring Surrey does not have to be expensive, there are plenty of places to visit in our beautiful county without spending too much money or that are indeed completely free. Get your blankets and baskets of Surrey food and drink at the ready and head outdoors for a picnic in Surrey. A short walk or cycle anywhere in Surrey normally leads to a suitably secluded picnicing spot - just please remember to take any rubbish home with you and not to use portable barbecues.  

Here, we've picked some brilliant ideas to keep you entertained and help to make the most of your three day weekend. 

Please do remember to pre-book to avoid disappointment, and always check the venue's website and/or social media before you travel to avoid disappointment.

Take a look at our Visit Surrey suggestions below
