Kids Activities in Dorking

Dorking sits at the foot of the North Downs in Surrey, and families here have plenty to fill the weekends and school holidays. From toddler music groups and pre school gymnastics to football clubs, swimming lessons and dance classes, there is a wide spread of activities for babies right through to teenagers across the town and surrounding villages.

Outdoor options are easy to reach. Box Hill is a short trip away for walks, cycling and bug hunting, and the open spaces around Deepdene give younger children room to run. The Dorking Leisure Centre runs swimming and sports sessions throughout the week, while Dorking Halls hosts shows, workshops and seasonal events that suit a range of ages. Local sports clubs cover everything from rugby and cricket to martial arts and tennis, with plenty of beginner friendly sessions for those just starting out.

During the holidays, parents can choose from multi sport camps, drama and craft workshops and outdoor adventure days, many of which take bookings by the day or the week. Whether you are after a regular weekly club, a one off class to try something new or somewhere to keep busy hands occupied over half term, there is something to match most ages and budgets.
