After facing the threat of closure and a massive community fundraising effort last year, the Rural Life Living Museum opened its doors for the Surrey Hills Spring Fair on April 5 to 6, 2025. Held in partnership with Surrey Hills Enterprises CIC, the Surrey Hills Spring Fair celebrated the very best of the county’s food, drink, art, and crafts, supporting local independent artisans, craftspeople, and stallholders. Visitors enjoyed two days filled with activities, live entertainment, countryside traditions, and delicious food and drink. The fair offered a perfect opportunity to experience the museum’s fascinating collection, with volunteers bringing the exhibits to life through demonstrations, crafts, and hands-on activities.
