🍎 A warm welcome for Beorc Leah! 🍎
We had a fantastic time at the Surrey Hills Fire & Food Fair at Hogs Back Brewery at the weekend, sharing our apple c***r brandy, Beorc Leah, with so many lovely people.

It was wonderful to hear your thoughts and receive such positive feedback. You described it as “smooth”, “warming” and even said you “could taste the apples”. One comment that particularly caught our attention was that it was “smoother than usual brandies”.

Beorc Leah takes its name from a clearing in the birch wood — a fitting name for a distinctive apple c***r brandy with a character all of its own.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall, sampled our brandy and shared their thoughts with us. Your enthusiasm made the weekend extra special!

🍎 Beorc Leah — apple c***r brandy worth discovering.

Happy Surrey Day everyone! 💚

Today marks the eighth annual Surrey Day - a county-wide celebration bringing together communities, attractions and local businesses to showcase everything that makes Surrey such a special place to live, work and visit. 🌄

Led by partners Visit Surrey, BBC Surrey and The Surrey Lieutenancy, the day shines a spotlight on Surrey’s rich heritage, vibrant culture, stunning landscapes and inspiring people. 🌳

Over the years, has been championed by a host of well-known ambassadors including HRH The Duke of Edinburgh (then Duke of Wessex), Dame Judi Dench, Dame Penelope Keith, Sir Brian May and Sir Brian Blessed. ✨️

This year’s ambassador is renowned space scientist, presenter and author Dame Maggie Aderin, a proud Guildford resident whose passion for discovery and community perfectly reflects the spirit of Surrey Day. 🌌

There’s plenty happening across the county today, with special events, local celebrations and live giveaways and coverage on BBC Radio Surrey. 🥳

Whether you’re exploring a favourite beauty spot, supporting local attractions, tuning into BBC Radio Surrey or sharing your favourite Surrey moments online with us, everyone is invited to join the celebrations and be part of Surrey Day 2026. 💚

There is a tiny parade happening down at the water! 🦆✨

Our Egyptian Geese family is out and about today at Birtley Estate, showing their little ones the ropes. It’s "baby season" here, and between the fluffy goslings and our elegant resident swans, the estate is feeling extra lively this May.

Nature is putting on quite the show right now. 🌿
