Experience Guildford

If you live, work, or shop in Guildford, you’ve probably seen our friendly Town Rangers out and about. Always ready with a smile, directions, and helpful advice, they’re just one of the many ways we make Guildford a safe, welcoming, and vibrant place to visit. We’re also the team behind some of your favourite moments in town – from the magical Christmas Lights switch-on to family fun like Fun Time Thursdays. Add in seasonal trails, kids’ activities, and year-round events, and there’s always something new to enjoy.

Love a local deal? Our Christmas Privilege Card and year-round Privilege Card offer exclusive discounts at shops, cafés, restaurants, and attractions across Guildford – all free to access when you download the Experience Guildford app.

Whether you’re hunting for the best lunch spot, curious about what’s on, or just need a hand finding your way, we’re here to help. Stay up to date by subscribing to our newsletter at www.experienceguildford.com and following us on social media @experienceguildford for the latest events, offers, and town news.
