Celebrating 50 Years of CAMRA in East and Mid Surrey
Formerly known as the Reigate and Redhill branch, the branch was founded on the 10th August 1975 at the height of the keg revolution. Our inaugural meeting was at The Nutley Hall in Reigate (pictured). We changed our name to become the East and Mid Surrey branch at the 1998 AGM as we thought that described the area we covered better. The boundaries have changed several times, the last time in early 2009.
The branch currently stretches over to the Kent border, down to the Sussex Border and across to Alfold. The main towns in the area are Warlingham, Caterham, Oxted, Lingfield, Horley, Redhill, Reigate, Banstead, Dorking and Cranleigh.

REDHILL BEER FESTIVAL
30th October - 1st November 2025
Our showcase event is held each autumn at Merstham Village Hall, which is located between Merstham railway station and the bus stop at The Feathers on the A23 (for the 405 bus between Croydon and Redhill).
We aim to have around 60 real ales and 10 ciders and perries on offer along with hot food.
News & Ale Magazine is the regular CAMRA publication for beer drinkers in Surrey, Kingston-upon-Thames and the Surrey/Hants border areas.
