18th Birthday Party · 100 guests · November 2025
From our first initial email to saying goodbye to everyone on the night , Dorking Rugby club was fantastic!! Chris who organises events was amazing and made my son’s 18th a night to remember. They organise security staff who couldn’t have been nicer . The bar staff were lovely. The venue has everything you could ask for. Great communication all round. Don’t hesitate to book.
