The Surrey Festival of the Arts Society was formed with the sole purpose of creating and hosting a vibrant, inclusive and dynamic festival featuring the diverse and talented artists from our local community and beyond.
From fostering and inspiring young artists, to featuring incredible talent across the artist spectrum, the society looks to create an ongoing arts event that becomes a pillar in the arts community both in Surrey and regionally.
Music
Surrey City Orchestra performs ‘mainstage’ concerts. In addition there will be presentions by emerging musicians. There is also the Instrument Zoo where Festival goers can try their hands at playing various musical instruments.
Dance
There are classic mainstage dance presentations, plus interactive dance workshops. Also younger performers will display their work.
Visual Art
Both 2D (e.g. painting, photography) and 3D (e.g. sculpture, carving, pottery, textiles) art is featured with the artists standing by to demonstrate and/or discuss their work. There are also opportunities for Festival goers to experience hands-on creation of artistic work including pottery and textiles.
Theatre
Drawing on the classical repertoire of many cultures and traditions, the Festival features ‘mainstage’ fully staged presentations, plus story-telling, street theatre, strolling performers, improv, fun drama workshops, and smaller theatrical presentations.
