This December, let’s raise a glass — and some funds — for the causes that make Woking a kinder, stronger community.

The Rotary Club of Woking invites you to our Christmas Celebration Dinner Dance on Tuesday 2nd December 2025 at West Byfleet Golf Club. Enjoy a delicious three-course meal, live music and dancing, and a charity raffle to round off a sparkling evening in good company.

Dress for the occasion — black tie or cocktail attire — and join friends old and new for a night of festive fun that makes a real difference.

Tickets £45 per person (covering a three-course dinner, music and dancing. Drinks may be purchased separately).
Book your place by emailing Teresa Stedman

This smartly refurbished former pub opened in November 2023 to become a “fully fledged” restaurant (with an elegant bar attached).

Under the careful management of Nick Levantis and Trevor Healy and the involvement of Executive Chef Mark Wadsworth, former head chef at Brighton’s acclaimed Salt Room, the Gosling has lived up to its early ambitions to deliver excellent modern European cuisine. The same management team have enjoyed great success at The Swan in West Malling, Kent.

Aside from good food and good company, there will be entertainment during the evening provided by saxophonist Joe Lai-Tan. I know what you’re thinking. A Saxophone! It might be hard to pick a wine to go with it. But rest assured, it’ll be fun.

On the 17th February, just as the 2025 Chinese New Year celebrations come to a close, we’ll be hosting a Chinese banquet at the Beijing restaurant in Horsell High St. 95-99 High Street, GU21 4SY.

Although 2025 is the year of the snake, we can promise there will be no snake on the menu. As in previous years, along with good company and a wonderful selection of chinese dishes, there will be plenty of entertainment and a raffle during the course of the evening.

Tickets are £40 for the meal, payable in advance. This figure excludes drinks. There will be a raffle.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without the sound of sleigh bells!
Once again this December, Santa, his sleigh, and a merry band of Rotary elves will be touring the streets of Woking to spread festive cheer and raise funds for local charities.

The Rotary Club of Woking is proud to team up with community partners and local good causes who’ll receive a share of the proceeds from this year’s collections.

You’ll also find us collecting at Morrisons on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th December, and in Jubilee Square, Woking Town Centre, on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st December.
Santa and his helpers will be there too — and keep an eye out for our balloon-twisting elves creating reindeer and dogs for the children!

We look forward to celebrating the season of giving with you once again.

If the weather takes a turn for the worse, please check this page or our homepage for any last-minute route changes or cancellations.
