Welcome to CAMRA in East and Mid Surrey
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.
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. 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.

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.
