A big thank you to our sponsor, EweMove! 🎃
We're so grateful to EweMove for supporting our Halloween Hunt this year. EweMove is a local estate and lettings agent, part of a nationwide network but run by agents who know Dorking and the surrounding area inside out — helping people buy, sell, rent and let property nearby. Their support helps us keep events like this free and fun for local families. Thank you, EweMove!
Welcome to Friends of Dorking
The Friends of Dorking is a small voluntary group of local businesses, retailers and community members working together — and with other local groups — to support our town. We organise and fundraise for the Dorking Christmas lights and flower displays, and run two free, screen-free events for local families each year: a Family Easter Egg Hunt in the school Easter holidays and a Halloween Hunt every October. Beyond that, we fundraise year-round and offer a helping hand to the town whenever it's needed.
Whenever you're in Dorking, please do visit and support our local retailers, cafés, pubs and restaurants.
