We are excited to be taking part in Guildford Festival of the Arts.

The Guildford Festival of the Arts is a community run event, resulting in a four-day celebration of the visual arts, showcasing the work of local artists and inviting the community to get involved by submitting artwork themselves, taking part in workshops or just following the art trail around town.

For the full list of events please see the Festival of the Arts Website
