I'm standing for election for my local parish council and if elected would
like to start a regular surgery on a saturday morning (maybe once per
month).

Has anyone had any experience of holding a surgery and if so can you give me
any advice?

I'm sure in Ardwick my local councillors held a surgery every monday
at one location. This meant you didn't have to check the paper - you
could just go and know that one of them would be there.

Where I live now they hold one every blue moon - you have to look it
up to see when its on as its pretty random.

From the point of view of wanting people to turn up having a regular
date is better.

Monthly surgery for a parish council? How many poorly planted flower beds 
and badly painted park benches does it require to stimulate such a demand?

The surgerys i held as a district councillor, roughly around once every 
month or so, usually resulted in the same three people turning up with their 
long term axe to grind, and that was about it.

You will probably find MPs who have less regular surgerys then you are 
suggesting. If you want to contact people, leaflet people leaving your 
contact details..
