Families This Weekend in Kingswood (Reigate and Banstead)

A tidy shortlist for families who would quite like to leave the house without spending half the morning opening tabs. We keep it local, useful, and blessedly free of events that tell you absolutely nothing.

10 picks around Kingswood (Reigate and Banstead), from 7 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Kingswood (Reigate and Banstead)

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

These picks come from the same behind-the-scenes legwork that powers Near Here. We check a frankly silly number of local listings, then keep the family-friendly ones that are nearby, properly described, and worth recommending.

Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Kingswood (Reigate and Banstead), not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

Church Family Picnic

at All Saints Church

Church Family Picnic Occurring for 2 hours, 30 mins Venue Woodgate Green Address Following the Parish Weekend, one of the strongest themes from your feedback was a desire for more opportunities to come together as one church family and celebrate what God is doing across our villages. We're delighted to invite everyone to a Parish Picnic & Outdoor Worship gathering on Sunday 26 July on the village green in Woodgate, Pease Pottage (weather permitting). Bring a picnic to share, along with your own drinks and a chair or picnic blanket. We'll gather from 12:30pm, enjoy lunch together from 1:00pm, and then share a short time of outdoor worship at around 2:00pm. On this Sunday there will be: 9:00am – Holy Communion at St Mark's 10:00am – Morning Worship at All Saints There will be no service at St Mary's, as we encourage everyone to join us for the afternoon gathering in Woodgate. If the weather means we need to change our plans, we'll let everyone know by email and via the Parish WhatsApp Community. Parking: Please avoid parking in front of the café. Parking is available near the school, and if possible, we'd encourage you to car share. We hope you'll be able to join us for an afternoon of food, fellowship and worship together.
