Visitor Reviews
The Virginia Water Autumn Fair received glowing feedback from visitors who appreciated the magical autumn atmosphere:
"The Virginia Water fair was magical. The setting was absolutely stunning with all the autumn colours reflected in the lake. The artisan stalls had such unique items - I did all my early Christmas shopping here! Will definitely return next year."
"We came for the pumpkin patch and stayed all day! The children loved picking their own pumpkins and carving them. The hot apple cider was delicious and the folk music created such a lovely atmosphere. A perfect autumn day out."
"As a local photographer, this event was a dream. The combination of the beautiful location, autumn colours, and lovely stalls made for incredible photos. The organisers should be proud - it was quintessentially English autumn at its finest."
"The guided nature walk was a highlight for us. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and the history of Virginia Water. Learning about the area while surrounded by such beauty was special. Highly recommend booking a walk slot."
"Lovely event in a gorgeous location. My only minor feedback would be that parking was a bit challenging on the Saturday - but I understand it's a popular spot! We came back on Sunday and it was much easier. The mulled wine warmed us right up!"
