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.
