What’s on at The Guildford Institute

Our termly programme includes a range of activities, such as courses, talks and events. We offer affordable room hire and we’re home to a vegetarian and vegan café and a historic Library and Archive.

Coronavirus Update

We have now made the difficult decision to cancel all Guildford Institute activities starting from Saturday 21 March until the end of May. We will be contacting all attendees regarding these cancelled events as soon as possible.

The Institute’s Library and Archive is now closed until further notice. If you have books that will soon become overdue, please do not worry about returning them at this time. V Café is now closed until further notice.

We would like to thank you all for your understanding during these uncertain times and the office team look forward to welcoming you back to the Guildford Institute when our activities resume. We will be updating our website on a regular basis, so please check here to view all the latest news and updates.
