From sports clubs to churches and even the iconic tunnel, Reigate Summer Festival makes the most of the town’s infrastructure. Find out what you can see on the various festival stages.
Tunnel Stage
The Tunnel Stage, at the south end of Tunnel Road, is the focal point of Reigate Summer Festival. Curated and produced by New Music Nights, designed and sponsored by Reigate Architects and made great by Dragonfly Studios and UnusualExpo, this is the main stage for rock and pop over the weekend, from Friday evening to Sunday lunch time.

Community Stage
Situated inside Reigate Methodist Church (set back from the road, a few doors along from Marks & Spencer), the Community Stage showcases performances from local performing arts, ballet and drama groups, as well as schools and choirs. Come and take a seat and while away an afternoon listening to beautiful music.

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 features music from Reigate’s local talent, curated by New Music Nights. 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.

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.
Fancy a coffee, a bun, some flowers? Look out for Blooms and Bakes in the corner of the yard.
