Surrey Day 2025

How World War Two Shaped Surrey

The annual celebration of all that is great about our county, Surrey Day is set to return for the seventh year on Saturday, 10 May.

And we're delighted to share with you that the theme - announced today on BBC Radio Surrey's Breakfast Show - is How World War Two Shaped Surrey.

As the timing coincides with the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we will be exploring how Surrey was impacted by World War Two. There will be all-day coverage on BBC Radio Surrey from sites across the county, and the day’s activities will culminate in the lighting of a ceremonial beacon.

Take The Lead for Surrey Day!

With our secondary theme being Take The Lead For Surrey Day, we’ll be sharing favourite dog walks and dog-friendly destinations to enjoy with our four-legged friends, so they too can play their part in the Surrey Day 2025 celebrations. 

This provides another great opportunity for Visit Surrey Members to get involved - so do get in touch with doggie-related ideas and content and we'll do our best to include it.

Surrey Day is a community initiative organised by Visit Surrey, alongside partners BBC Radio Surrey and the Surrey Lieutenancy, with support from a range of local organisations including businesses, tourist attractions and charities. It is open to everyone, and we'd love you to get involved. - Be Part Of Something Special!

Surrey Day events will be added to this page as they are announced.
