On Saturday, Reigate & Banstead Borough Council throws open the doors to the fabulous Grade II listed Town Hall from 11.00am until 3.00pm. Inside the historic building you’ll have an opportunity to explore the magnificent rooms, meet the Mayor in his parlour and see his Mayoral robes, mace and other historic regalia. Displays will commemorate the 100th anniversary of WW1.

With a samba band, vintage police cars and other vintage vehicles outside the Town Hall, the day will have a real festival feel about it, with lots of exciting things for children, too, such as an exciting history hunt with Heritage Hatty and Heritage Henry and a Come and Make area.
