If you’re lucky enough to have your visit to Surrey coincide with the annual Surrey Fusion Festival, be sure to make time to head to Holland Park and join in the celebration. This kaleidoscope of culture is a true feast for the senses and a perfect way to soak up Surrey’s diversity in one colourful weekend. In 2024 Special Events Magazine awarded their Gala Award for Most Outstanding Spectacle, Fair, or Festival to the Surrey Fusion Festival.

The two-day celebration unites cultural and community groups from across the globe, along with over fifty recording artists and performers. Since its inception, Fusion Fest has experienced remarkable growth. What initially comprised only twenty-five modest pavilions has expanded to almost fifty, with additional ones introduced each year. Each pavilion represents a different country, mirroring the diversity of cultures showcased at the event.
