Day trip by coach - the Surrey Hills Spring Fair & Two villages! (NOW FULL)

THE TRIP IS NOW FULL, IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND, ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAITING LIST AND I WILL CONTACT YOU IF A PLACE BECOMES AVAILABLE.

Come along on Saturday 11th April to visit some pretty villages in Surrey!

About the day
We will be visiting two pretty villages in the county of Surrey and also the 'Surrey Hills Spring Fair' which takes place on this weekend.

Chaldon
The village of Chaldon sits in the North Downs, with the first written record of the village being back in 675 AD. It translates as 'the hill (down) where calves were pastured'. The church of St. Peter & St. Paul is an early Norman church that contains a large wall painting of around 1170 depicting images of the ways of salvation and damnation.

The Surrey Hills Spring Fair & Rural Life Living Museum
The fair takes place across this weekend in the grounds of the Rural Life Living Museum. The fair includes traditional country crafts, live music, art demonstrations, local food vendors, and outdoor woodland activities. The museum is an open-air museum with objects associated with farming and goods used by local craftsmen between 1750 and 1960.

Elstead
The village of Elstead sits on either side of the River Wey. Its relative prosperity over the centuries can be partly attributed to the existence of the availability of a site for a watermill and a bridge over the river. The mill, now a pub restaurant, was occupied by Oliver Cromwell's army during the English Civil War, but subsequently burnt down.

Entry Cost
Entry to the Surrey Hills Spring Fair & the Rural Life Living Museum is £11 per person. Payable on the day by cash or credit card.
