Overview

MAKE YOUR OWN WAY VISIT

On the periphery of Guildford, the Guildford Union Workhouse still stands; built in 1838 as a result of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. It housed the
forgotten classes of Edwardian England – the poor, the infirm, the ill and the destitute. Join one of two private tours, explore the lives of the Spike inmates and experience the sights, sounds and smells of a Casual’s Ward.

A cream tea (included) awaits you at the end of the tour.

Choose from two visit times:

V106 – Morning
V107 – Afternoon
