Our origins

The Society was formed in 1927 with the objective of promoting choral music in the locality and of taking part in the annual Leith Hill Musical Festival www.lhmf.org.uk held in Dorking which at that time had already been running for more than 20 years.

Social events

We enjoy a number of social events each year which usually includes a summer BBQ.

Annual calendar

Participation in the Leith Hill Music Festival has always been at the heart of the Society's activities. We also give regular concerts in the summer and in the autumn, plus our popular carol concerts in the village at Christmas at St Nicolas Church. Most of our concerts are performed locally in Bookham, Leatherhead or Dorking and we occasionally perform in other Surrey venues. A typical year looks like:

  • September - Mid November: Autumn Concert                         

  • November - December: Carol Concert

  • January - April: Leith Hill Festival

  • May - Mid July: Summer Concert

On the organised social side we usually have a late New Year's party in early January, (although we have on occasion swapped New Year for a Summer barbecue); and an annual fundraising coffee morning in March.
