Friends of Farnham Park
Working with Waverley to keep the Park a beautiful place
for all to enjoy
The Friends of Farnham Park are a group of like-minded people who appreciate the simple pleasures of Farnham Park
and who want everybody to be able to continue to enjoy them into the future.
We liaise closely with, and support, the Waverley Countryside Management team
in preserving the character of this wonderful local amenity.
Many of our activities are open to everybody and most are free.
They include:
- Keeping our members informed
- Interpretive walks
- Conservation activities
- Working Parties
- Liaison with Waverley Borough Council on long term management strategies
- Social events
The Friends of Farnham Park welcome anyone who wants to be informed and involved in the Park.

There is a new proposal to name several of the currently un-named features (fields/woods) in Farnham Park after
local famous people. Click here for further details.
