Haslemere, in Surrey, had a population of around 17,000 at the 2021 census — a town with a long-standing reputation for early music.
The Dolmetsch Family and the Haslemere Festival
In 1917, Arnold Dolmetsch, a pioneer in reviving early instruments such as the viol and harpsichord, settled in Haslemere with his family and opened an instrument workshop. In 1925 he founded the Haslemere Festival, which continues today as one of the longest-established early music festivals in the world.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Haslemere shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Haslemere shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Guildford or Farnham for a wider selection.
