[return to what to expect page]
Set into the rolling hills of Surrey and tucked into a quiet corner of Stoke Park in Guildford is the annual return of GuilFest - one of the UK's most popular festivals.

GuilFest is different to many festivals simply because of its location, a few minutes walk to the historic town centre, a walk across the road to the famous SPECTRUM leisure centre which is home of the Guildford Flames and just a matter of paces to The Guildford LIDO. All this makes the whole experience of GuilFest that much more appealing.

Spectrum Leisure Centre
Why not wander over the Leisure centre directly across the road and enjoy a morning's pampering after a night of music, food and of course beer. Soak in the pool, spend an hour on the ice or why not have a game of Bowling before alking back to catch another full days of music and festival madness.

The Guildford LIDO
Our next door neighbour is the Lido and the Olympic sized swimming pool set in the beautifully landscaped gardens. many a GuilFest goer has strolled over for morning swim and relaxed for a couple of hours aay from the thousands of non stop party people. For just a couple of pounds the peace and quiet of the oustide pool is the perfect way to unwind.

Castled City - Historic Beauty
GuilFest is very much loved by Guildford, an historic castled town with all the mod cons you would expect from a large town but with a sprinkling of history to make it that much better. Home and final resting place of Lewis Caroll author of the Alice in Wonderland stories, Guildford's magic inspires most people who make the journey here - some staying longer than they first intended.[location]

FREE Parking
Unlike other festivals GUilFest offer FREE parking for the duration of the festival, and unlike other festivals, the car park is right outside ther main gates, no need to drive into another county to ditch you car before lugging your weeken supplies back - Ideal!
