Something new is coming to Dorking… and it’s going to shine. 🌟
This February, we’ll be bringing a little warmth and light to the town with Dorking’s very first Festival of Light. ✨
When the nights are still dark and winter feels long, we’re creating an evening that brings people together, with handmade lanterns, a glowing procession through the town centre, and a real sense of community celebration.
At the heart of the Festival of Light is people. Local groups, organisations and residents coming together to make something beautiful, take part in something shared, and light up Dorking at a time of year when connection matters most.
It’s about creativity, kindness and togetherness and we’d love you to join us for our inaugural Festival of Light.
