Peach Blossom (Camby Ltd.)

The evenings are when Peach Blossom really comes alive. This Redhill landmark opens at five o'clock and stays lit until nearly midnight, which already tells you something - it's designed for the post-dinner crowd, the late-night wanderers, the people who want somewhere to be when the sun's gone down. It's run by Camby Ltd., though what exactly draws people here varies depending on who you ask and what time you arrive.

For families staying at one of the nearby caravan parks - Alderstead Heath is closest at just over three miles away - it could be a decent evening outing when the kids have had enough of the campsite. Couples looking for a bit of atmosphere during a Surrey Hills break will find it worth the short drive from Merrywood Park or Surrey Hills Park. The thing is, you'll want to check what's actually on when you visit, because the appeal really depends on what Peach Blossom's hosting that particular night.

The Tuesday-to-Sunday schedule means you've got flexibility if you're staying nearby. Admission details aren't publicly listed online, so ring ahead or check locally in Redhill before making the trip. Allow an hour or two rather than committing your whole evening - it's the sort of place you dip into, not build a night around. The location keeps it accessible if you're based at any of the parks within five miles, though don't expect it to be your main holiday draw.
