Guildford Cathedral

Set within 22 acres of grounds on Stag Hill, Guildford Cathedral offers an event setting unlike almost anywhere else in Surrey.

The cathedral nave, light filled and genuinely vast, can host a seated dinner for up to 500 guests, a standing drinks reception for up to 800, or a concert and performance for up to 1,000, making it one of the largest event spaces in the region.

The adjoining Seasons space, managed by catering team The Tipsy Pigs, provides a more contained and flexible room for gala dinners, sports award nights and conferences for up to 200, with floor to ceiling partitions allowing the space to be divided for smaller meetings or wakes.

A built-in stage and complimentary projector, screen, microphone and sound bar keep presentations and entertainment straightforward, and on-site parking alongside easy access to the A3 and Guildford train station make logistics simple for guests travelling from further afield.

For awards dinners, degree ceremonies and events that need real scale and genuine gravitas, Guildford Cathedral is one of the very few venues in the region that can offer both.
