What's Happening in Surrey in September
Despite the wonderful warm weather that has been easing our transition into fall, we know that cooler days are just around the corner! Soon it will be time to grab a sweater, order a pumpkin-spiced treat and put on our socks (oh the horror) as the temperatures start to dip. The cooler weather doesn’t mean that we slow down though, in fact, autumn is one of the best times of the year to visit Surrey, and there are lots of fun activities happening this September.
The details below are for the events that happened in 2023. While the dates might be different this year, the details below will give you an idea of some of the fun things that can pop up as we transition from summer to fall in Surrey.
