Kids Activities in Redhill
Redhill sits on the eastern side of Surrey, with the M25 running to the north, the North Downs to the south and Reigate immediately to the west. Families here move between the town centre itself, the older village of Merstham up the hill, and the Earlswood side where the lakes and commons take most of the outdoor traffic. The mix of children's activities reflects that spread: a main sports hub at Donyngs Recreation Centre, a working aerodrome that offers flight experiences for older children, a network of parks and nature reserves on the town edges, and a small cluster of dance, music and martial arts clubs across the town.
Most Redhill days out start on foot. Redhill Memorial Park is the town's main park with a refurbished playground and open ground for ball games a short walk from the high street, and it comes recommended by local families. Merstham Recreation Ground covers the north side of the town for younger children and casual kickabouts, and Frenches Ponds is a small local park closer to the Earlswood side. Further out, Earlswood Lakes has two lakes and walking paths that work for a slower family day, and the ring of nature reserves around the town, including Moors Nature Reserve, Holmethorpe Lagoons Nature Reserve and Nutfield Marshes, gives families a longer walk within a short drive.
Sports in Redhill run mostly through Donyngs Recreation Centre, the town's main leisure hub with a pool, courts and studio space. For families asking about swimming lessons in Redhill, the pool at Donyngs is the obvious first place to check for the current programme. Little Kickers East Surrey runs football sessions for young children out of Donyngs itself, and We Make Footballers: Redhill Academy is a football skills academy that is popular with local families. For football clubs, Redhill Football Club is the town's community club and Merstham Football Club is the non-league side on the Merstham side of town.
Martial arts in Redhill sit in a small, well reviewed group. Ellis Academy of Self Defence runs karate and Brazilian jiu-jitsu sessions for children, Carlson Gracie BJJ Surrey covers junior Brazilian jiu-jitsu and is popular with local families, and Kensho Judo Academy is a judo club that meets at Carrington School. For dance classes Redhill parents ask about most often, Kicks Dance Reigate & Redhill is a children's dance school covering both towns, and Reigate Dance Centre offers classes from ballet through to street dance for a wider age range.
Music lessons in Redhill are spread across a handful of independent teachers. Native School of Music runs music lessons for children across a range of instruments, GUITAR AND BASS LESSONS covers guitar and bass tuition, and Flute & Theory Tutor teaches flute and music theory. For younger children, Baby Signing with Sing and Sign (Salfords) runs baby signing classes on the Salfords side of town, and Hartbeeps East Surrey & West Sussex runs sensory baby and toddler classes across the area. Yogamoo is the local children's yoga studio and is well reviewed by parents in the area.
For holiday camps in Redhill, YMCA East Surrey Holiday Camps runs holiday weeks for ages four to twelve out of the YMCA Princes Road site. The town's most unusual offering sits at the aerodrome south of the town: Redhill Aviation Flight Centre runs flight experiences at Redhill Aerodrome, and Cubair Flight Training Ltd is a flight training school that offers trial lessons for older children. For outdoor sessions, WildFit Surrey runs outdoor activity sessions in the local countryside, and Adventure Kit Hire hires outdoor activity equipment for families and groups. Local Scout meetings run out of 5th Reigate Scout Group (Merstham) for ages six to fourteen and 17th Reigate Scouts on the Redhill side.
