Dozens of venues take part in sixth Surrey Day

Dozens of venues took part in Surrey Day on Saturday as the annual event was held for the sixth time.

The event is a partnership between BBC Radio Surrey, Visit Surrey, and the Surrey Lieutenancy and this year's theme was “Surrey From The Sky”.

Some of the events on offer included wine tastings, an open day at West Horsley Place, and a party with dance lessons.

Mark Carter, deputy managing editor of BBC Radio in the South and South East, said: “It always delivers plenty of inspiring and uplifting moments."

Surrey residents were also invited to take part in events such as a hot air balloon ride and a secret vineyard trail.

Throughout the day BBC Radio Surrey broadcasted from Birdworld in Farnham, Fairoaks Airport in Chobham, and finished the day with a tea party at Brooklands Museum in Weybridge.

Every year Surrey Day has an ambassador and this year it was actor Brian Blessed, who has featured on Flash Gordon and Peppa Pig.

He lives in Lightwater and is an honorary patron of the Guildford Shakespeare Company.
