Festivals, Fairs and Fetes in Surrey

Music, beer, food, arts and much more, Surrey comes alive throughout the year with a fabulous programme of festivals for all to enjoy.

For classical music lovers, Investec International Music Festival presents world-class performers in beautiful venues throughout the Surrey Hills each year - usually in early May but rescheduled to September for 2021. Over the years, artists such as Nicola Benedetti, Dame Sarah Connolly, Michael Collins, Philharmonia Orchestra and Tenebrae have appeared at the festival, and 2021 includes superstar saxophonist Jess Gillam and The Tallis Scholars and some very special locations including West Horsley Place and the brand new RHS Hilltop at RHS Garden Wisley. Keep an eye out for the festival's special plans in 2022 to celebrate Surrey Hill's most celebrated composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Other popular music festivals include Weyfest in Farnham, a family friendly weekend festival in September held within the grounds of the Rural Life Centre.

Food festivals feature within many of Surrey's town and villages throughout the year, offering visitors the chance to discover the region`s local produce, fill up on tastings from local restaurants and watch local chefs work their magic on the demo stage.  Woking, Godalming and Kingston all present popular food festivals also taking place in Kingston, Woking, Leatherhead and Godalming.

Surrey holds a number of very popular craft beer and cider festivals which pay homage to the region`s brewing heritage, whilst also celebrating ales from further afield

On a literary note, the annual Guildford Book Festival welcomes some of the country's best-selling authors to the town in October, from Children's favourites to Booker prize winners.
