Visitors are being invited to join staff and residents for coffee and cakes at the country’s oldest privately-owned retirement village.

Elmbridge Village was the first of its kind in the UK with work beginning on the site in Cranleigh, Surrey in 1981.

The village is now set to undergo a facelift with work starting this year on a whole range of new facilities and living options.

A coffee morning is being held on Monday, 16th January between 10am and midday. Visitors will have the chance to see the new plans and to view the properties currently available at the village.
