Events in Guildford From 30th March – 5th April 2026

You can find a range of events in Guildford this week, from talks on literary figures like Elizabeth Gaskell and discussions about medieval market records from 1253. These sessions take place at permanent civic spaces such as the lower auditorium at Guildford Library and St Nicholas Church Hall, offering accessible formats for regular attendees. Family activities happen across shared community environments: children and parents engage in seasonal themes, like spring planting or river ecology walks, at sites including Dapdune Wharf near The Old Mill and open areas adjacent to Westfield Vineyard during daylight hours. Live music is held at established local venues, notably The Guildhall, where acoustic sets alternate with late-night gatherings featuring dance beats from regional DJs in spaces managed by independent arts collectives.

Events span multiple days: a panel discussion on Victorian urban development will be held 29 March at 6pm inside Guildford Town Hall; family workshops run every Saturday between 10am and noon, rotating through designated zones near St John's Playground. Music-led nights take place midweek, such as a jazz evening hosted by the Surrey Sound Collective at The Hub on Tuesday 30th, and extend into early morning hours at select sites with approved late licenses.
