Visit Guildford!
Whilst in Guildford why not make the most of your visit and explore what our beautiful historic town has to offer.
From the picture-postcard cobbled High Street to the enticing narrow lanes of Chapel Street and Swan Lane; from the 15th Century Guildhall to top of the range designer shops; Guildford perfectly blends a vibrant centre with the tranquillity of a country town.
Below are a select list of attractions and businesses that Guildford Shakespeare Company are proud to promote, and which we believe showcases the very best that Guildford has to offer any new visitor…and who knows, you might even see one or two of our actors enjoying their hospitality too!
