Here’s the line up of venues involved in Reigate Summer Festival, 20-22 June 2025. We’ll be updating this page for 2026 (19-21 June). With four stages and Busk Stops dotted around the town and a fringe trail incorporating town centre pubs, cafes, public spaces and shops, everyone got to benefit from all the extra visitors coming in to the town!
Tunnel Stage
The Tunnel Stage, at the South side of Tunnel Road is the focal point of Reigate Summer Festival. Brought to you by New Music Nights, Dragonfly Studios, Reigate Architects and UnusualExpo this is the main stage for live music over the weekend, with light shows and film projections adding to the spectacle.
Take a look at what’s on, on the Tunnel Road Stage on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then just turn up and enjoy! There’s no entry charge, but we’ll be raising funds for three local charities.
Check the Tunnel Stage schedule for further details.
Please note: Tunnel Road will continue to be open to pedestrians during the festival.
Community Stage
Situated inside Reigate Methodist Church (that’s set back from the road, a few doors along from Marks & Spencers), the Community Stage will be showcasing performances from around 10 local performing arts groups and associations – including Voicerox, Reigate School of Ballet and Reigate College.

Our sincere thanks to Kutchenhaus for so generously sponsoring the Community Stage and everyone at Reigate Methodist Church for your support in helping to create a Community Stage in the heart of the town.
Clocktower Stage
On the very spot where Paul Heaton and Norman Cook serenaded Reigate in 1980 when The Housemartins were still a twinkle in their eye, the Clocktower Stage will again feature music from Reigate’s local talent. Situated on the cobbles beneath the old Town Hall clock, it’s bound to stop a little traffic. Grab a coffee and a bun from Gail’s or Caffè Nero and just kick back and enjoy the music.
The Clocktower Stage will feature wind and swing bands, a choir and singer-songwriters galore, alternating with the acts on the Tunnel Stage. Look out too for the Surrey Drinks Collective (CDC) outdoor bar, lending a hand to The Market Stores to keep everyone refreshed.

Cage Yard Stage
The Cage Bar, situated in Cage Yard, is a popular year round venue for live music, right in the heart of Reigate. Built as a prison in 1811, it was bought by Pilgrim Brewery in 2024 (so it now sells decent beer), and is set to establish itself as one of Reigate’s foremost entertainment destinations, thanks to its central location (down the alley to Morrisons) and the perfect courtyard outside its doors.
New Music Nights have made it their second monthly home, along with other bands and open mics making up a regular menu of live music. It also hosts poetry events and DJs, and will be a big draw during the festival with a programme of music scheduled throughout the weekend, starting with Inner City Groove Band on Friday evening.
