From magnificent countryside views and world class gardens to water sports, outdoor activities and country pubs, there's so much to see and do in our beautiful corner of south east England. Summer turns Surrey's hills, trails, rivers and parks into playgrounds for outdoor enthusiasts.
Summer is the ideal time to experience Surrey's stunning landscapes. Wander through ancient woodlands, cycle along scenic trails, or enjoy a peaceful picnic in one of the county's many parks and gardens. Did you know that The Surrey Hills National Landscape stretches across a quarter of our beautiful county, running from Farnham in the west along to Guildford, Dorking, Reigate and on to Oxted in the east - with iconic views every step of the way.
Surrey offers countless activities for families during the summer months. From wildlife parks and adventure playgrounds to outdoor festivals and nature walks, there's something for every age. Take a look at our family events page.
The county comes alive with exciting events throughout the season. Enjoy live music, food festivals, outdoor theatre performances, and local markets celebrating Surrey's rich culture and community spirit.
Relax at charming riverside pub, enjoy afternoon tea in beautiful hotel, or sample fresh local produce at farmers' markets. Surrey's culinary scene combines traditional English favourites with modern dining experiences.
Start with a morning walk through the Surrey Hills, enjoy lunch in a historic market town, spend the afternoon exploring gardens or attractions, and finish with a sunset meal overlooking the countryside.
Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or quality time with family and friends, Surrey offers unforgettable summer experiences surrounded by some of England's most beautiful scenery.
