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

• Conservation activities

• Working Parties

• Liaison with Waverley Borough Council on long term management strategies

• Social events
