Surrey Day - How to get involved
The fifth annual Surrey Day takes place on Saturday 13 May 2023 – and we can’t wait to come together to celebrate the delights of our beautiful county.
A free community initiative, Surrey Day is led by a partnership between Visit Surrey, BBC Radio Surrey, and The Surrey Lieutenancy.
This year, we’re planning to take to the wonderful waterways that snake and stretch right across our county. Steeped in history, we’ll be looking back in time to explore their rich heritage whilst enjoying all they have to offer today, from boating to water sports and more.
As well as messing about on the rivers and canals, we’ll be heading off on foot, plus climbing aboard a vintage bus to discover the people, places and flavours that make Surrey such an amazing place.
It’s one big celebration, open to everyone! All events and activities can be posted for free here on our top-ranking Visit Surrey website – there’s an upload button at the bottom of this page.

Whatever you decide, let us know in advance and be part of our light show on social media.
