Welcome to WEVS
The West End Village Society was originally founded in 1973 as a non-political, volunteer-led village community organisation open to all West End residents. Our wide-ranging brief includes preserving and enhancing our local heritage and natural environment.
WEVS aims to work with residents, organisations and businesses in order to:
– Stimulate interest and involvement in village affairs
– Preserve the history and heritage of the village
– Assess and comment upon planning and related issues
– Participate in the formulation of Local Plans
– Arrange public events, such as lectures and walks
– Establish a major activity each year as Project of the Year
– Forge links with other West End organisations.
We welcome members from in and around the West End area. As a member, you will receive regular newsletters covering news and events in and around West End and updates regarding our activities.
West End Village is in the heart of Surrey Heath, approximately 25 miles southwest of central London.

Looking back
VE80 Day Celebrations
WEVS hosted the ‘West End during the War’ display in the West End Social Club to commemorate VE80 Day.
The display featured photographs, items and records of West End during the World Wars, and saw many visitors recounting stories from West End’s past.
Enjoy the daffodils
West End’s daffodils peaked during the first two weeks of April.
If you missed the very wet and rainy annual daffodil walk on 23 March, that was
the time to do it. It was the perfect weather for it.

Save it for next year.
Daffodil Walk
The annual Daffodil Walk around West End took in the brilliant display of daffodils we had again this year. Thirty intrepid walkers set off from the Rosewood Way car park on Sunday, 23 March, in very wet weather.
Most stayed the course and enjoyed the hospitality of the Hare & Hounds.
2025 AGM
WEVS’ 2025 AGM was held in the Sports Pavilion on Tuesday, 18th February.
The meeting included introducing and demonstrating our 2025 Project of the Year, the West End History Project.
It was followed by a talk by Tony Painter on “The History and Mystery of Maps”.
Boxing Day Walk 2024
Sixty-seven walkers set off from Tringham Hall and the Hare & Hounds in pleasant weather to take part in the WEVS Boxing Day Walk. A few took the shortcut home at the halfway point, but the rest walked the full 3 miles back to the Hare & Hounds for some well-earned refreshments.
