May - September
There’s plenty of things to do, memories to make and experiences in Guildford this summer.
Head to Guildford and enjoy a wonderfully broad programme of events planned between May and September. Celebrate Guildford is a joint collaboration between the Business Improvement District, Experience Guildford and Guildford Borough Council.
Pride in Surrey celebrates its 5th anniversary by coming to Guildford in September, and there’s a host of amazing food, music and entertainment festivals in Guildford this summer.
The programme includes traditional events such as the Raft Race, The Cheese & Chilli Festival as well as a wealth of outdoor drama performances. Guildford Shakespeare Company, who are celebrating their 18th anniversary this year, will bring Romeo & Juliet to the streets of Guildford for three weeks starting on 21 June and GuilFest makes a return to Stoke Park.
Take a picnic, relax and listen to a free bandstand concert in the Castle Grounds or learn more about our historic town on a free guided walking tour.
We hope the English weather is kind to us and the whole family can enjoy the full range of diverse events.
Remember to keep checking back as events are regularly added to our site.
