Things to Do in Surrey
48 attractions and days out

Surrey packs a lot into a small county, and its 111 attractions reflect that variety. Chertsey has Thorpe Park on its doorstep, while Weybridge and Cobham draw on Brooklands' motoring heritage and the polo grounds nearby, seen in fixtures like Minninnooka Polo Day. Guildford and Camberley lean towards indoor entertainment, with venues such as MeetspaceVR and ANOTHER WORLD VR joined by soft play centres and football coaching like KickX.
Further out, things get quirkier: the Great Cockcrow Railway near Chertsey is a proper miniature steam line, and Farnham and Dorking offer a gentler pace with countryside pursuits and family-run outfits. Reigate's Art-K caters to creative days out, while Pro Paintball and FairWeather Golf give active groups somewhere to burn energy.
Choosing where to go often comes down to whether you want a big-name day trip or something smaller and local. The M25 and A3 corridor towns tend to have the larger venues, while Farnham and Dorking suit those after a quieter, more rural outing.
