The 39 best things to do with kids in Guildford

What a wonderful Park, with a fountain ⛲️ and a lake 🌊 had quiet a few courts aswell and a kids playground too. A lovely place no doubt on a nice sunny day but actually came here at the beginning of winter last year. Would love to go back in nicer weather when in Guildford next 😊

Tranquil and beautiful. There’s a kids playground, mini golf course, shallow pool which was closed off on the day that I visited & a pristine Pond.

What a beautiful place this is to go to they even have a paddling pool for little children plenty places go & have a walk with your family & have a payment. Just please remember to a take your wish away with you or put it in one of the many bins what are in grounds.

Stock Park is a great place to visit! I had a really nice experience overall — the environment was pleasant and everything was well-maintained. Definitely worth checking out.

A great and large park to visit. The Japanese garden is really nice and scenic and everything seems well maintained. Can be a bit muddy but a great spot to walk around

Such a nice place to walk as the sun goes down. Plenty of space on the grass and benches. I notice the children's pool has metal barriers around it must times I see it (I wonder why it's out of use so much.) The huge student accommodation has added a great 6-floor block of brick in one corner. But it brings live of a different kind.

Stoke Park is located around 12 minutes away from Guildford High Street by walk. It is a 52 acre open park with trees on a corner, children’s park on another side with a paddling pool and model boat pond, skate boarding rink on yet another side. The Stoke park itself is open always, the children’s park may have some time slots though. The space and openness of park provides a sense of feel good and freedom. People with dogs often bring them to the park for a walk and some play. In summer it’s also a good place to have picnics and generally absorb the sunlight.

Cute little museum with a lot of items from different periods to look at. Would spend more than 10-15 mins here. Got accessible toilet on the ground floor and kids area

It is a small museum. Friendly staff with good local knowledge guided me to find the castle nearby. The display there isn't much interested to some people.

Lovely experience and the staff were beautiful and helpful. Also they recommended a few other historical sites. Best experience

I was surprised by the displays in this small museum. The items take you through different periods. It's great for families. I went with my 3 year-old granddaughter, who enjoyed doing the Easter trail with me and the toys on display. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Nice place just outside of Guildford castle. It has many old age items to look into. Good place for history lovers. They have many old items like cycle, old stitching, old clothes, old bungalows in displays

Nice kept flowers. Amazing environment!

Great little museum. Friendly staff too and a great atmosphere.

Stunning! What the beautiful scenery! Totally recommend it. Nothing inside the castle but not the rooftop. You'll see the wonderful city view.

Take a breather whilst shopping and take a relaxing visit the castle gardens which is situated not far from the High Street. The place is beautifully kept and the gardens are really well planted up notably with spring bulbs AND also for the summer season. I advise you not to miss both the upper and the lower levels of the grounds. The castle mound itself is a bit of a climb but well worth it for the view. The castle does open to but I've never been inside. There is a fascinating little statue as a tribute to Lewis Carol who wrote 'Alice Through The Looking Glass' very nearby when he lived here. I thoroughly recommend this little gem of a place to anyone...

Lovely place Very very Spiritual. If you want to do Meditation/ manifestation or wants to connect to the Cosmos/Nature basically 5 elements air,water,earth,sky and fire. This is the place for people seeking positivity in their life. People with Negative energy could find it a difficult place to sit for long. Chant "OUM 🕉 " this is the vibration of creation of this Universe. Thank you

Beautiful little castle in the heart of the city! Absolutely stunning garden!!! If you are down town don't miss visiting this gem. Really beautiful.

12 oct 2025. Shining Sunday. Today take south western railway from London Waterloo to Guildford with 2 stops. 40mins. Visit Beautiful garden surrounded Guildford Castle. & easy walking tour around Guildford. Beautiful flowers.

A beautiful cute small (compared with large gardens/parks) garden around the historic castle. We visited for the seasonal flowers. Easy access to Guildford town centre so such a great place for a short break after lunch and dinner.

Stunning! Hard to believe this is all in the centre of the town! The gardens in summer are mind blowingly well kept! And of course being surrounded by amazing pubs and restaurants this is a great spot to waddle around

12 oct 2025. This morning travel by rail from London Waterloo at 10am to Guildford to meet up with friend for a 3 hours walking visit to Guildford. Wonderful walk up the hill from railway station. & town centre.

Guildford's most recognisable landmark, this modernist cathedral was designed in the 1930s by Edward Maufe, and consecrated in 1961. The imposing red brick tower is visible from much of Guildford thanks to the cathedral's elevated position at the top of Stag Hill, affording it good views over town. The cathedral's exterior is simple, but with enough detail not to appear austere. The statues on the west front are the newest feature, added in 2005. Stepping inside, I was immediately struck by how bright and spacious the cathedral felt, the large windows allowing an abundance of natural light to reach the building's interior. High ceilings and towering arches further enhance the sense of space. The cathedral is very well maintained, spotlessly clean inside and out. The blue ceiling decoration and sparkling organ pipes stand out amongst internal features. Services are held regularly and events are hosted on special occasions, so it's worth checking the website before visiting to be sure you'll be able to look inside. There's accessible onsite parking for visitors to the cathedral, while a café, shop and toilet facilities are located inside.

Lovely modern cathedral. Free parking for 2 hours is a bonus, giving you plenty of time to walk around. Easy to access from the motorway too.

Guildford Cathedral’s simple, modernist architecture feels both grand and welcoming. A lovely stop if you’re in the area, whether for history, quiet contemplation, or just a great view over Guildford.

One of the newer British Cathedrals built in the 20th century. Aestheticly pleasing but somewhat too clean and lacking atmosphere as with many of its older contemporaries

An interesting modern cathedral. The threads display was excellent. I would like to return when no craft show, so I can really enjoy the space. Really nice cafe also. Had coffee and an excellent slice of cake.

Visited the cathedral to see threads through the cross by Jacqui Parkinson. Stunning display

This is good adventure if you are not afraid of heights. My 7 year old was so brave & completed both the courses Wild Woods has to offer. A must try, would recommend

Great activity with the kids. The instructors were patient and explained the safety rules well. The two kids courses were the right level for ages 7-10yrs in our group. The youngest one was scared the first round but the staff were very patient and encouraging and then she was flying around after that. We also got to go around the two kids courses multiple times. Thank you.

Very very lovley staff.. all very professional. Very attentive. Only problem is u cannot get a refund if booking was made b4 7 days ago. Other than that an amazing experience for all the family. My children loved it all.

Wild woods was amazing! The staff couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. The kindness and encouragement they showed to a nervous boy in our group was incredible. The course was challenging and extremely fun. We will definitely be back!

Excellent, would definitely recommend. We held a kids birthday party here and the team at Wild Woods were professional, friendly and just brilliant. The kids loved the day.

Staff were friendly and courses good fun with lots of interesting challenges. What was also a undesired challenge was booking with vouchers (you can only buy them online, not use). The phone went unanswered during the week (when they were open for the holidays) and no call back from the message left, eventually got through to someone the day before we wanted to do it.

Fabulous experience for kids and adults alike. Beautifully organized, safe and great outdoor fun. Nice way to get a workout in!

Very interesting, lovely well informed volunteers took us round. Learnt a lot. It is cold so you need a jumper or jacket.

We finally visited the spike centre today. John our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I visited with my grandchildren and he made their experience memorable and enjoyable as well. Thank you for the work that you do and well worth a visit. I would strongly recommend.

I came across the Spike Heritage Centre after reading George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London. I'm so glad I visited, it was a really interesting experience led by our knowledgeable guide Dennis. This is living history and encourages reflection on one of the most important issues in our society today. Very well preserved and worth a visit

We went today and we want to give a special thank you to the dedicated staff for the amazing tour! They gave us a good scope of how the centre operated and the living conditions under which the occupants suffered. They also gave us a detailed history of the building it self. It was super interesting, we enjoyed it immensely.

You walk through prosperous Guildford and come to this reminder of what was available for "vagrants " early in the 20th Century. Stone breaking, spiking oakum or 2d to stay the night.

A great experience all round uncovering a dark, bleak bit of history. Even though most of it was demolished, seeing the casual ward of the old workhouse is still fascinating and enlightening. I had a great tour delivered by Dennis who was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and tolerated me constantly interrupting with questions! An excellent guide with plenty of insights into The Spike. I also picked up some great little booklets from the shop, and was assisted by Christine who was also lovely. Had a great chat with her as well. Fascinating place and lovely staff! Would recommend to all, but do take a coat if you're going any time other than Summer. It's chilly!

I've lived in Guildford for a while but had no idea this was here until a friend suggested visiting. We were shown around by a friendly volunteer guide and found it really interesting and quite moving. A real piece of social history I knew nothing about. Well worth a visit - and we were even given a cup of tea and a biscuit!

What a gem! Beautiful building with original features, a lovely cafe' and gift shop. Great yearly art exhibition too. Recommended

Lovely place to visit - super Embroidery exhibition and great little gift shop downstairs - pity there’s no coffee I. The courtyard.

The most amazing little craft shop at the bottom of the stairs of the house gallery, beautiful handmade items and very affordable! A rare find on the high street nowadays.

Great old building . Good exhibition, lovely cafe and gift shop. Friendly staff and a quiet oasis away from the traffic and noise. A real hidden gem!

An unusal place which is well worth a visit as the gallery part is free. They do very nice food and the gift shop is great for prezzies. It also doubles up as the tourist centre so should be able to answer all yourquestions.

Also the Information Centre in Guildford. Lovely old building. Small gift shop and café downstairs. Upstairs access may be tricky for some, as there's no lift.

Nice historic building with regular exhibitions of quality. There is a nice little cafe hidden at the back, pleasant in summer.

Nice place, being here for swimming competition, long course swim. Parking is free for threes hours or if you come for an event who is long then 3 hours you have to register your number plate at the reception desk. If you come for a swimming event be aware of the limited space of seats and quite difficult to move on from one side to other. Coffee shop is nice and with lots of places to seats. Nice, polite staff.

Good membership price in terms of a variety things to do - gym, pool and sauna, classes, courts. However, if you’re only going to SSP for the gym, it’s a ripoff - a lot of the equipment is out of use and it takes months for someone to come and fix it

I have had a very poor recent experience as a member. The class that I attend (and pay monthly membership for to be able to book onto) has been cancelled several weeks in a row (and the weeks it has not been cancelled have been in lower quality weather impacted outdoor facilities whilst the gym is refurbished). When I reasonably asked for a membership refund for the month where my class was not available once, I was told no. When asked the formal route to complain, I was referred to an almost blank page on the website with a button to the general support email address. With the member prices going up to pay for enhanced facilities next month, it felt reasonable to give money back for cancelled classes and worse facilities recently. I've started shopping for class memberships elsewhere.

Went to watch Surrey Storm Vs Wasps, brilliant atmosphere, not overly big arena good size, fans were encouraging, players great, game exciting. The complex has a sports bar and Starbucks as well as two swimming pools, climb walls, netball courts and other sport activities. Had a lovely time, would highly recommend to the netball fans and sports fans alike as well as people who do sport aka sporty people. Will be attending again

!Beware of the cancellation policy! If you sign up for a month , they won’t let you go for THREE months. Also hard to find and to action cancellation, have to fill out a whole form and wait for personal reply. Weird Gym much smaller than photos would have you think. Super busy even at first light. Nice equipment, decently arranged. Didn’t have the chance to check out other facilities before wanting to cancel.

I only use the centre for the swimming pool, which is excellent. However, with each passing year, more pool showers have broken, currently with two out of five functioning one side. Come on, guys, it's basic plumbing in an essential area we're talking here, not part of any refurbishment programme. Please, please, get them fixed!

Whilst I can't comment on every part of Surrey Sports Park, my review reflects my experience of the classes facilitated by Freya. Week on week, Freya creates a welcoming atmosphere in her classes, where everyone, regardless of ability or experience can participate. It feels like such an inclusive, supportive space. This is the first time in my life really that I've been consistently attending classes, and have been doing so for well over a year now. So much of that is thanks to Freya. I don't leave reviews often, but I really felt she should be recognised for the great job she does. I am gutted to learn that she's moving on from SSP and really wish her the best for the future! 😊

Very nice and large public garden on the Guildford castle grounds. Marvellous during summer time when the sun is out and temperature is high.

Gorgeous views. Perfect for a pit stupor a detour to treat your eyes. The flowerbeds were well looked after, thriving even after the summer heat. Be mindful that it slopes and there are some steeper inclines; may be a slight struggle for those with buggies or mobility issues.

Beautifully maintained gardens with shaped ornamental flower beds, stunning tulip displays in April, and a historic Norman castle at the centre. There's plenty of seating to spend a few moments enjoying the surroundings. Other features include an attractive bandstand, war memorials and a striking statue of Alice Through The Looking Glass. There are various ruined walls around the grounds, and good signage. The castle itself (entry charged separately) is worth a look, with a small exhibition inside and great views from the top, but the gardens are the real highlight, and free to enter.

What a unique experience and the grounds are BEAUTIFULLY maintained! I enjoyed the historic backdrop with the greenery and cityscape all interplaying off one another. There are plenty of benches and worth the visit. Take some time to sit and soak it in - you won’t be sorry!

Tranquil, well maintained gardens. The scenery is beautiful for photos. The castle is ancient and worth the visit.

Extensive grounds with a minimalist touch to the planting. The paths are steep in places and in some places the paths are closed off because of issues with instability of the ground. Overall a pleasant green space with several benches spread out across the grounds.

it’s amazing to me there’s a castle right next to a big shopping area - i don’t think i’ll ever get use to it! stunning grounds, the garden design is beautiful & the history of the castle is incredible. a great area to sit outside & enjoy the beautiful scenery!

I went with my family for Father's day and we were treated like royalty! Chloe our host, was not only attentive, but she was also friendly, very helpful, and a pleasure to have host us. I thought customer service was long gone, but they made the afternoon for me and my family an amazing experience and we loved every minute! From the food and drink (good pizzas!), karaoke, darts and games we played, through to the Cricket and even the ice cream and candy floss for my daughter, nothing seemed too much effort for Chloe or the team. I wouldn't just recommend the venue and a great time out doing something different, but I highly recommend Chloe as an excellent and engaging host - thanks for a great afternoon!

Came for a 40th birthday celebration and we had the best time. The staff we had on the 19th April were phenomenal, so attentive but not intrusive, fun and so helpful and really couldn’t have done more to make our evening any better. Sixes is so much fun and just great between dinner and the night out and the cocktails were just delicious and to find there’s a back room that you can hire for events is such a great idea. We were only meant to go for an hour or so but ended up there for hours as the drinks were flowing and we just were having such a great time. Can’t recommend this place more

The staff were welcoming and the venue was clean and well maintained, with a good selection of drinks that were reasonably priced. The game itself was enjoyable and fairly priced, but there were a few areas that let the experience down. The food overall was disappointing - the menu was limited and lacked flavour, with the burger in particular feeling overpriced and under-seasoned. Service was also slower than expected. In addition, there need to be more balls in the feeder the last player in our group wasn’t able to finish their round, which unfortunately affected the overall standings. All in all, a fun visit, but definitely room for improvement.

Wow. My family had never been before and after seeing the reviews for Chloe I thought we’d give it a chance and she did not disappoint!! She was incredible, she was so friendly and attentive to our whole group. My sons loved her, even though I am slightly cursing her for selling them milkshakes ( The sugar rush in the summer holidays was just what I needed ) She kept asking cricket questions to my boys and got them really excited about the game! I have never received such personal customer service it really felt like she was part of our family by the end of the session! I not only recommend the game for something to do over the holidays. But I recommend Chloe as such an incredible host. She is such an asset to your team, the experience would not have been the same without her. The food was a little expensive and did take a while to come out, but Chloe realised after about 20 minutes that we were still waiting and rushed to check for us. She apologised and it came out about 10 minutes later. As a surprise she gave the boys this huge candyfloss with a sparkler ( More sugar! ) We came home on such a high. Thank you Chloe!! We will be back.

Have to say this is a fantastic venue, very good service throughout. If you get a chance there is a party room out the back with a big karaoke screen, darts board, pool table and is really good fun to hire with your group. We did the cricket net which was fun for everyone even the ones who hadn't played before. Food and drinks were excellent too - we will be returning again! Thanks

Wow. What a fantastic experience at Sixes Guildford. So much to do and fun for everyone in the family. Chloe was an absolute star and went out of her way to make sure we felt welcome. My husband had the best Father’s Day and my little girl is now in love with cricket! Thank you so much Chloe, came home on such a high.

We had a great time Celebrating at the Sixes.The Karaoke private room is very nice , spacious and offers options for kids to do. My children have been having fun singing , yet remarked ,if they could wireless mics ,would be even better , but that has been so negligible of an inconvenience compared to the impression the staff has placed on us ,as being kind, accommodating and very helpful, particularly Rob and Thomas , these staff ,have definitely made our entire experience enjoyable on the 17th of September.Thank you.

The River Wey Navigation is one of my favourite places for a slow, peaceful walk when I need to switch off. It winds through Surrey with a mix of calm water, greenery, and quiet charm. I usually join the towpath from Guildford and just follow the river—no rush, no noise, just the sound of water, birds, and the occasional narrowboat humming past. There’s something really grounding about walking here. You pass locks like Stoke Lock and Bowers Lock, each with its own little pocket of calm. I often see swans gliding by, ducks chasing each other, and now and then, people fishing quietly along the banks. On warmer days, I’ve seen kids kayaking or canoeing with instructors, their laughter echoing down the water. The path is easy to walk, with lots of open spots to stop, sit, or just watch the river flow. Sometimes I bring a coffee or a small snack and just take it slow. It’s not a “touristy” place, which makes it even better—it feels like a bit of countryside hidden in plain sight. If you enjoy gentle walks, quiet water, and a bit of nature without leaving town, the River Wey Navigation is just the right kind of peaceful.

A really nice place for a walk with a set route. The board walk with facts about the animals and bugs local to it is a nice touch.

Really lucky to have this on our doorstep. I often walk my dog starting at spectrum, walkng around the lake and then back down the canal. My children also love coming here and feeding the ducks amd exploring along the waterways.I wish there was less litter at the picnic site and less noise from the A3 (nothing can be done about the latter I know!).

As I visited this place in April so there was not much of the greenery but the place is quite and you can feel the nature’s peace.

Pond frozen. Unfortunately vandals have systematically destroyed bird hide over the spring and summer months. Area out of bounds.

Beautiful surroundings Lovely peaceful walk around the lake

Used to be loads of bulrushes - all was tidied up now growing back - be careful when river floods

What a fantastic place for Adults and children alike. Was in Guildford and went to have a look. thre was some sort of festival going on. Amazing atmosphere and a book shop and cafe there too.

Boat wasn't given on time and all the both routes were short which meant we had to do u-turns in a short time. Not worth the money! The boat was also mediocre.

I have lived in Guildford all my life but never been here before. I really enjoyed my visit, especially the boat cruise 🚢 with commentary. Will visit again.

A quite turning off the main road brings you to Dapdune Wharf, where an old barge is moored. The site is free to visit as is the parking for NT members. As well as the museum, there is a large second hand bookshop and a delightful café with indoor and outdoor seating. A very pleasant place.

Great place to moor in our narrowboat. Lots of local history in the museums on site. Feels very safe as site is locked at night.

Lovely day at the festival today

Great bookshop and cafe! In the winter they open up the inside boathouse for people to play table tennis for free

We had a great dinner with some guests who are in town. Booked in advance as I know it can get busy on weekends during the summer months. Great service from the team and the atmosphere was good. If you want to be able to sit and have a conversation I would avoid eating in the upstairs part of the restaurant as it was very noisy. In terms of food my main, the duck special, was OK but the rest was good. We all had starters and mains each then shared some desserts. Including wine/beers I thought it was reasonably priced.

Mixed Experience – Disappointed with the Food My wife and I visited The March Hare this evening after hearing good things from friends. Although we didn’t have a reservation and the restaurant was quite busy, we were promptly seated in the bar area by a very pleasant staff member, which we appreciated. We ordered the Rump Steak and the Lamb Shoulder Roulade. The steak was requested medium-rare but arrived more on the rare side. I didn’t send it back, as I don’t mind a rarer steak, but it’s worth noting. Unfortunately, the lamb dish was quite underwhelming. While the meat was tender, it lacked flavour and the lamb jus was very watery (as shown in the photo). For a £25 dish, we had expected better quality and execution. The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere and décor, and it's clearly popular with locals. However, the food didn't live up to expectations. Service was satisfactory, though we did notice that no one came to check on us after our meals were served, which was disappointing. Overall, while we appreciated the setting and initial welcome, we left feeling disappointed. Not sure if we’ll be returning.

Went for dinner with my husband. The restaurant was very busy, and we had to find a table ourselves in the bar area. While the staff member at the bar was friendly, the overall service was quite casual—no one checked on us after our food was served. I had the lamb (£24), which was unfortunately bland, and my husband ordered the steak (£26) medium rare, but it came out quite rare. Prices were already on the high side, and there was an additional 10% service charge. Overall, the food and service didn’t live up to the price, and I don’t feel like we’ll be returning.

Nice pub with generally friendly staff. Don’t order the chateaubriand sharer! It says 14oz on the menu. Ours came and it was about 6oz, not enough for 1 let alone 2. Staff disinterested when we asked if that was a full portion. It came with 2 halves of a very dry overcooked tomato. Real shame. Other food that was ordered was pretty good but this one was a complete let down and one to avoid!

I don’t normally write reviews but I would like to share a positive experience! I had the beef and ale pie and it was devine - lovely atmosphere in the conservatory and an attentive, charming waitress Grace who hadn’t been working there long but got it down to a T. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, good margaritas too!

Very good food and ood service. We had the Gressingham duck breast, Dressed Devon crab, Whole bream and the 7 Oz fillet. The Bream and the fillet was superb, with the duck as a very close second. Will really recommend this place.

Came to The March Hare, Guildford for a meal and some drinks. Ordered a blue chateaubriand which came out overcooked at first. Our lovely servers, Sanora and Ryan were very helpful in fixing this and making sure we got our correctly cooked meal as soon as possible. Overall very nice pub and food and staff were lovely.

Excellent ambience, lovely service, wonderful sandwiches. With the Traditional Afternoon Tea, you get a refill. You can refill with other flavours if you like and get to taste other teas. They have 17 tea flavours. Lovely place to spend time in a lovely surrounding. The teas are really good and refreshing.

Do you want to feel yourself as a princess from fairy tale? Visit this place!!! Beautiful decor! Very friendly staff!! Good menu, vegan and gluten free options. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or just coffee/tea and cake (what my friend and me had today). Definitely will be back 😁

I took my friends from Denmark for a guilty afternoon tea before to go to the theatre. The place was not busy I didn’t have any reservations,I was happy worked all well my plan. The service was nice and friendly the waiter was polite and lovely with the daughter of my friend. Coffee was average the cakes were ok. Portions are big. The prices ok. The decoration is very unique ☺️

Very quiet for lunch. Customer were almost non existent. Very pricey for lunch. But customers service were good. Very clean Outside and inside seating available. My tuna sandwich was waaaay to much on the bread. It did put me off. 😟

Decent food, but great service, and attention to detail, we received 2 forks even though we ordered only one portion of an excellent Carrot Cake. The only downsize would be young and inexperienced staff, but like I said, we were lucky being served by their most experienced staff member. I'm sorry for their 3.9 stars, but from me, it is a clear 5-star review.

I took my sister here for a cute little celebration & it was amazing. We had a great time, the staff were so nice, the food was yum with so many options! Location was easy to get to and find and decor was super cute... definitely doing back, may even make it a monthly trip for Tea

Lovely place to have afternoon tea. Very tasty cakes and petit four. Crockery is so cute. Good views over Guildford.

Beautiful place, peaceful, relaxing and for myself besides landscaping if I see animals around - "my day is made" - I was so happy to see cows, sheep's and special ones for the Hatchlands House is donkeys 🥰. You can have cafe, tea, some food in cafe shop. Sadly, the House was close due some work. Although, definitely I will be back and hope will explore more. There is so many path to walk around, great place for kids to play. Really recommend.

This is an excellent home to visit if you are interested in music and paintings. The paintings are incredible and to see pianos that belonged to Chopin, Mozart, Lizt etc was very special. It was also interesting to see Shakespeare's portrait and the link he had to Hatchlands. Unfortunately internal photography wasn't allowed. The gardens were not at their best, but hopefully in summer they will look fantastic!

We got free vouchers to visit the park. It was well maintained, with lots of space for the kids to explore — especially since they were currently hosting The Very Hungry Caterpillar trail, where children could explore and have their pictures taken via a QR code. Overall, it was a pleasant visit despite the extremely hot weather. The kids had fun!

Lovely place even in the rain. Nice cafe in the old kitchen. Great assortment of drinks on offer and the date flapjack and lemon drizzle cake were delicious. The dog was pretty pleased about the dog biscuits on offer too. We couldn’t go into the house because of the dog, but it’s a nice place to walk around.

Absolutely fabulous house with fantastic interiors, so much to see and appreciate BUT you can't take photos inside so can't take memories home with you hence low score. All the usual National Trust facilities on site , small formal garden and large estate walks available.

Absolutely stunning collection of pianos and harpsichords, many of which have connections to famous composers. Download the app on entry to get all the information about each one. Excellent. NB. No photos allowed to be taken inside as it's a private collection.

Visited last year and returned to see the house dressed for Halloween! It was very good, especially the music room 👻 Did a short walk off the parkland and really enjoyed the views of the house. Would return again

Newlands Corner is a wonderful spot in the Surrey Hills with beautiful views over the countryside. It’s a peaceful place where you can enjoy nature, whether you’re walking, cycling, or just relaxing and taking in the scenery. The trails are well-marked and suitable for different levels, from gentle strolls to longer hikes through the woodland and open fields. There’s parking available on-site, and facilities like toilets and a café, which makes it convenient for families and visitors. It’s also dog-friendly, so it’s a popular place for dog walkers. On clear days, the views are absolutely stunning, and it’s a great place for photography or a picnic. Overall, Newlands Corner is a perfect destination for fresh air, exercise, and enjoying the beauty of the Surrey Hills countryside.

Stunning views from this corner. You can either bike from any direction if you are in surrey to enjoy the uphill as well as descents. Great place to bring your dogs along with you.

Absolutely gorgeous place to visit. Lovely British landscape with woods and wonderful walks. Easy to park up and take a picnic to enjoy too.

Lovely place for a coffee and a stroll, or sit down if you prefer! Quite a big area for walking and some picturesque trails to Chilworth and St. Martha's Church. A popular meeting place for bikers and dog walkers, great views of the surrounding area.

Absolutely beautiful landscape. Car park is right at the top of the hill so you can see the amazing views, perfect place to relax and have a picnic

Lovely views across Surrey Hills and beyond. Ample free parking, suitable for vans, motorbikes and cars. Great food shack with very friendly staff. Dog friendly. Public loos on site. Lots of walkers, bikers and bicyclists enjoying the sunshine today.

Beautiful spot. Fantastic views of the Surrey hills. I always try to stop here on my way home from Wisley Lots of parking and some great walks if you're fit enough to manage hills. I've tried the cafe previously and the drinks and food were great, much better than I'd anticipated. I do always have to save a gap for an ice cream from Shere Delights which is 5 miles away!

Delightful garden, impressive rose garden, brilliant herb garden, immaculate vegetable garden. Picturesque The house is wonderful with many unique and authentic features. Great guided tour giving many historic details. Might seem.pricey but value for money compared with similar. Well worth a visit

We visited the gardens on 10th August and they were stunning! Each garden room had plenty of interest, but the room full of rudbeckias, heleniums etc was really spectacular!! There was so much colour - it is a show-stopping room at this time of year.

Spectacular garden! Several differently themed areas within large walled garden. So much colour and planting to explore and enjoy. Lovely cafe. Card payment only. Sadly closing for autumn/winter tomorrow- seems a shame when garden is very much still in full bloom.

Rich in history and well kept. The tour of the house was particularly good as our guide was very knowledgeable..The garden was also managed really well, the roses were a dream to behold and the fragrance beautiful. The only knock back was the food on offer was very limited and over priced.

Wonderful, slightly wild RHS garden cared for by volunteers. Entrance fee goes to a children's hospice founded by the family who own the land, in memory of their son who died aged 12. The gardens are varied, some tidier than other. Not really much in the way of lawns, so this is one for those who love their flowers and shrubs. Good (if a little pricey) meals and teas/coffees in the outdoor cafe.

Great place to visit, guided tour is a must along with the gardens

I went to Loseley Park to participate at a championship dog show. It’s a nice well maintained area.

Lovely Country Road music evening. Very enjoyable. Pre-ordered Nachos with pulled pork. Rather disappointing portion size, needed more meat. It was rather expensive for the size of the portions. Would definitely eat before arriving at Theatre next time.

Show was excellent, the stars are not a reflection of that. What let the experience down were the refreshment prices! Over £12 for a small bag of Minstrels, a child-sized bottle of water and a 0% Peroni. The show was great value, the bar definitely wasn’t.

Lovely theatre, perfect size for the show we saw. Unusual to not have any parking, although there was a car park within 5 minutes, and it did get very hot in there. But I would visit again. Food on site was lovely too!

I haven't been to YA for a while and hadn't seen the renovations. Great that the men's toilets are much improved. And also that the dining area and bar/restaurant are now out of the main lounge area. However, the atmosphere/ambience of the restaurant is not very welcoming. Very stark and cold. Feels like a hospital or school cafeteria, rather than a warm, inviting space, especially on a chilly autumn evening. A good splash of warm paint (or wood panelling) would do the trick. Also, dimming the lights a bit (almost wished I had sunglasses). One plus was the music was nice and soft and not overwhelming like so many restaurants. I think that if the space was more inviting, people might just want to stick around for an after show drink and chat. The staff were great. 5 stars to them.

Great show and nice staff but silly rules. Bought a bottle of wine from the bar upstairs to be told we couldn’t take it in with us for ‘health and safety’. I asked if this was in case I threw it on stage and was told no, it’s for ‘health and safety’. The Mrs Warboys-esque character on the door clearly had no idea! No bag check on entry and had to leave our bottle open on the bar so anyone could have spiked us, clearly not that bothered about H&S!!

Saw Little Women today. Great production. Comfortable seat in row F of the stalls with a good view of the stage. Hot drink from the bar was nice though small for the price. Will visit again.

I went to Yvonne Arnaud Theatre to see the show Murder At Midnight starring Max Bowden from EastEnders and I had a wonderful time, it was an incredible experience to see Max and the rest of the cast perform live as it has always been my dream to see Max perform as I have been a fan of his for many years now so it was a special experience for me. We had front row seats which made the experience even more special too. Yvonne Arnaud is a wonderful little venue with great seating for shows and the cafe is lovely too, with delicious food and drinks and beautiful views across the river. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. Thank you Yvonne Arnaud for a wonderful show and for making my dreams come true with watching Max Bowden perform live, I send my gratitude to Max and the rest of the cast of Murder At Midnight for a fantastic show that I will remember forever!

We are fortunate to experience many other National Trust properties throughout the UK. This one is probably the closest to where we live, so we decided to visit. Having done the red/ pink trail, we found it rather mundane and there is nothing that would immediately take one's breath away. The house was closed and surroundings aren't manicured, but there it's s fair bit of ground to explore. It's good if you are a dog walker or just want a casual stroll. I can see the paths being quite muddy in wet weather. Overall, compared to others, this NT property isn't the best kept or the most pretty. May come neck when the house reopens.

Website says it's open with a photo of the house.. I come 60 miles expecting to see a house albeit recovering from fire. Only the garden lawn is open. Misleading, untrue description.

Very disappointed. The house is closed and wrapped after the fire. The grounds were open, but no staff around, no facilities, the grounds aren't being looked after. Ok for a little walk but not worth going out of your way for.

Beautiful gardens. The house wasn't open for tours but there are 2 long walls with interesting history as well as the placards throughout the garden.

Really fascinating time to visit, following the terrible fire in 2015. You don a hardhat and put on a high-vis jacket to enter the house. The house was completely gutted and you can see right back to the brick work. Information boards show before and after images - as well as the history of the building. Go if you can - and take advantage of this unique opportunity.

It's now four year's on since Clandon Park caught fire and caused massive devastation to what was a wonderful National Trust property. Unfortunately there is not too much to view at the moment. The National Trust have opened up the property so that the general public can see what remains of the property. They are hoping that they will be able to let the general public see the changes as they renovate Clandon Park and eventually reinstate it to it's former glory. I

An amazing place to visit, nice and quiet. There is an opportunity to visit the house including the basement. The Dutch garden is lovely to see.

This is a beautiful National Trust property to visit. It is on many walking routes. Our volunteer guide, David, gave us an amazing tour full of detail and expertise. You will love it. You can even buy local flour to bake at home.

A very nice example of preserving a slice of rural life from the 17hundreds Opened for public just for 2-days a week. Very good, detailed guide 🤗 Can recommend everybody, regretfully disabled people cannot visit due to the structure of the site

Really interesting place to visit. By guided tour only on certain days. Our guide Moira kept it interesting for our children too.

Great guides and very friendly. Fascinating place to spend a Sunday morning. Open Wednesdays and Sundays only.

Interesting history.but overly long..rendition.the mill was in good order..you can climb three staircase to the top.

I am devastated it is closing down. I have 3 kids under 5 and we were going to several shows a year, as many as we could really. What a great place. What a shame.

Wow what a great little venue. Recently saw the Gordon Wellard septet and enjoyed it so much we immediately bought tickets for a couple more gigs. Keep up the good work. Dropped a star because they recently stopped selling Firebird beer in the bar. Only alternative Newcastle Brown Ale!?

It's a great venue. This visit we actually sat in the bar area to watch the wonderful Charlie Dore, who was as lovely and talented as ever. The Electric Theatre's staff and volunteers are great and they serve decent, locally brewed beer. :-)

They are running a cafe project every Wednesday, experience tasty vegan falafel wrap as you sit and soak the lovely atmosphere by the River Way

My first experience at the electric theatre, we were there to listen to Allie Bailey. The theatre itself is in a great central location by the river Wey in Guildford not far from the main train station. The facilities were fine with the theatre itself also decent enough for the talk we were there for. Bar could have been a little quicker for service although it wasn't bad, toilets were clean enough. Would be happy to visit again.

Great little theatre, saw The David Cross Band play there. Totally recommended as a venue.

Congratulations on a delightful production of Chitty this afternoon with the most beautiful voice of the very pretty leading lady and sincere thanks to Nathan for helping us through our ticket changes! ❤️

Pleasant open space by the river Wey, not far from the centre of Guildford. Great for dog walks, as the trees on the riverside path offer plenty of shade in the summer months. The landscape is mostly flat wetland ground, with a striking contrast provided by the sandy riverbank. The ruins of St Catherine's Chapel up the steep hill on the west side of the river make an interesting diversion from the waterside path.

Always a great outing. Leading out along the river wey, the walk is highly enjoyable. The dogs have fun in the small "beaches" that dot the bank.

It is a really lovely place to hang out with friends, family or even with your pet! We came visit here on Easter Holiday with wonderful weather 🐣☀️☀️🌤️ everything is just so perfect to us! We brought our food and drinks to here enjoying the sunshine and chilling out with our cat. She looks very joyful and relaxed too. Very lovely place 💓

Lovely place to let the dog run around, and great connections to the river to continue your walk.

Lovely walk by the Navigation. Great toilets with free drinking fountain. Excellent cycle paths and free outdoor gym

Lovely park location not far from the centre of Guildford. Also the home to the annual Chilli and Cheese Festival. Well worth a visit.

Great circular walk that starts in the shalford water works and goes along the river.

We use this cinema quite a lot because it has very good ticket prices - £5 a showing instead of the £14 many charge. However, you get what you pay for. The cinema is older and has not been updated to recliner seats etc but that doesn’t usually bother us as we can go as a family more often because of the price. Having said that, we paid £2 each extra for Standard+ for four of us in Screen 7 to see Mission Impossible and found that these were actually worse than the standard seats because the Premium seats in front had high headrests which partially blocked my view (I am 5ft 5). Even without the rests, the heads would have been in our way. Definitely not worth the extra! We also had some very noisy people in the back row who were warned about their behaviour several times by security. Eventually a big guy stood up and told them loudly that he was going to get them removed. He fetched security and this time they were kicked out but security should have got them out earlier. (Our thanks to the customer) We will continue using it but definitely will not pay for Standard+ again.

Went here today see Superman (2025). We decided to travel here for something different as prices were significantly cheaper than our usual cinema. We sat in premium and I was pleased. I thought the cinema itself was quite dated and shabby. I was also frustrated with the long walk to the toilets from screen 8 which was hardly convenient. The toilets themselves were cramped, narrow and not in the condition I was hoping for.

Such a pathetic place to watch a movie. The screen is so ridiculously small it feels like you’re watching on a 102-inch TV at home. Honestly, a proper TV would give you a better experience. They should be embarrassed to even call this a theater. Total waste of money—never recommending this cheap setup to anyone.

I’ve been coming here for years, but sadly the place has really gone downhill. It feels run-down, and the lack of security is a real concern. I’ve seen people openly taking drugs during screenings and others running in and out of films without any checks—it completely ruins the experience.

Screen 4 had no AC yesterday when watching a film. It was very stuffy and very warm. This is not acceptable at all. It made a good film into a bad experience. Please fix this.

Very easy to book tickets and pre-order food using the Odeon app. I walked in, marked I had arrived and the food was quickly made. After that I scanned my ticket and went straight on through to the screen to sit down

Read on for XL worth (spoilers it isn’t) What an awful scam, just booked my 241 tickets and expected the usual pay the increment you know an extra £2 but no, odeon doesn’t really do 241 it does 1 and 2nd half price. 2nd thing I don’t usually go for the XL screen but due to time constraints I didn’t have a choice. But this booking reminded me of an issue I had when I first went to XL as it isn’t any different than it was before. All they did was rebrand it XL and charge more for it, it’s just the same screen they had before, and happens to be the largest they have in this particular cinema and it’s still smaller than most other screens. If memory serves the speakers were also broken in there, they had this awful clicking noise throughout the film. What an awful cinema run by an awful chain, it is in desperate need of a refresh. Also no difference with standard+ (more space 🤣🤣) just an excuse to charge you more for sitting further away from the screen, and premier is the bare minimum. Again in desperate need of a refresh. As for the staff, they do what they can, they are working hard in such an outdated place, and some of them try to smile. But they are never rude 👍

Loved the place. Visited again as kids who visit us are also asking for this place. Of course, in these past few years, they have become popular and widely accepted as kids-tour-spot But i personally feel it is a small place cos they started the walk-in booking. This makes it difficult to predict the high number of visitors - as well as the parking is quite difficult at times. This hurricane Simulation was a big catch for the kids this time. ❤️.. Well, not many of these kinds are nearby so I'm still gonna visit.

I went with my 2 daughters on Sunday, and Isabelle was absolutely lovely. Very friendly and helpful, especially when my children were nervous. Great experience overall. xx

Awful staff from the receptionists, they would much rather have children cry due to their inability to manage a que. Was more than happy to have my child miss 10 minutes from the previous session and get to jump with his friends but the teenage girl behind the till would much rather laugh in our faces than allow a 5 year old to bounce with his friends. Absolutely awful customer service, I spent over £500 booking my sons part here in May and this is the way the staff treat us. Was informed the staff are motivated to sell summer passes and get a £50 voucher for whoever sells the most. Yet when it comes to claiming and using the summer passes they don’t want to allow us to use them.

The children loved this spot i especially like the fact that I can follow them around to keep an eye on how they are behaving without any additional charges

I have been here several times before yet my experience today has put me off coming back. There were several children licking and biting the balls in the dodgeball court and taking them into a corner. However, not a single staff member was watching the dodgeball so this continued, was never dealt with and having no staff there seemed very unsafe for children. In addition to this the ‘unlimited refill bottle’ we bought at the counter actually costed £2 every time we wanted to refill it which we weren’t told about until we went to refill it. The wipeout machine has also been significantly downgraded for any older children as the upper bar is now significantly lower, it moves a lot slower and no longer even turns. Finally the staff didn’t seem to enforce any of the rules as there was a pair of children wrestling on one of the platforms and then they fell off and all they did was watch. There were also children climbing on things they shouldn’t, not moving in the assault course (making it unusable) and 3 children on a trampoline several times and the staff didn’t seem nothing which is a huge risk to children’s safety and fun. Overall this was a terrible experience at somewhere that used to be fun.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but for this I feel I must. I visited this activity center yesterday with my 3 sons. We have had brilliant experiences with airhop in camberly so we thought that the Guildford airhop would be just as amazing as we have had in the past. Boy was I wrong, it looked physically impossible for all the lovely staff to handle all of these children with only a couple of them working in each area. Considering a lot of incidents, falls and injuries that happen at a place full of trampolines, not properly supervised there is bound to be more issues for the employees/ managers to manage. NOT ALL but most employees look burn out, defected and exhausted from having to be working twice as hard as they can because there is not enough staff working with them. As result staff just end up standing by watching as children commonly do not listen. A lovely lady Sophie came to help us connect to the somewhat slow WiFi. Sophie was a very friendly staff member and airhop should be very proud to have her, she is so good with kids yet very Sturn when needed and I saw that most kids would change their behaviour once she told them what was expected. She was also very attentive to our needs and was very helpful and kind to my boys. The only reason this review is high is because I feel the staff are trying the best at what is asked of them, but this is getting out of hand and unsafe with little supervision and seemingly under appreciation towards their staff.

I have been here with my boys a few times and we have had some great experiences. However, I just went again for a birthday party over the weekend and standards have definitely slipped. Staff are miserable and certain things were not working.

Scarlet, Ethan and Chris were great for our work function! We had a big group of 14 and they gave us a great time. Thanks guys, we will be back

Jess was amazing, we did two different games on the day. Space Marine and Outbreak. Both were excellent. Jess made the whole experience even better with top quality service in every way. She made the day even better. Will definitely be returning

Good fun to fill a weekend morning- two teenager boys had a really good time. Staff very friendly. Boys played various different games and had a lot of fun. Quite expensive but can see must be fun for birthday parties.

Great fun place! The staff are super helpful and super friendly! Thanks Lex for helping 8 11 year olds to have an awesome time! And huge thanks to Jess for the the amazing pizzas! Highly recommended!

My son and I had a really good time. Staff were super friendly and drinks reasonably priced. We played 4 different games and as a non gamer, it was fun! We will definitely be back! Would recommend for children birthday parties too.

Had the most amazing game sessions of doing Space Marine and Outbreak. Cannot explain how amazing it is, the VR experience is so so immersive, you need to just do it. Staff were super friendly, place was easy to find with good facilities, just go!

Just awesome! Went for the first time yesterday, and the game was so much fun, and so realistic! Definitely value for money! There were some issues with the server to begin with, but we were looked after whilst they were fixed. We will definitely be going again!

Nicely kept area of scenic countryside that narrowly escaped housing development before being saved by the community. A modern monument to its preservation stands at the top of the down. The location, right on the edge of Guildford, makes it easily accessible from town. It's also reasonably close to St Martha's Hill, where free parking is available. Heading to Pewley Down from here and back through Chantry Wood makes for a very pleasant circular walk. There are quite a few benches around the top of the down, overlooking lovely views and providing the ideal place for a short rest stop. On the north side, there are far reaching views over Guildford and its unusual cathedral.

The views across the surrounding countryside are truly rewarding, especially on a clear day, when the rolling hills and patchwork fields stretch out before you. Within the woods themselves, you’ll find a lovely mix of trees, some striking in size and shape, creating a calming canopy overhead. The atmosphere here is wonderfully tranquil—you really do feel as though you’ve stepped away from the bustle of everyday life. On our visit, we were fortunate to enjoy warm, sunny weather, which made the experience even more memorable. Whether you’re walking alone, with a partner, or as a family, Chantry Woods is an ideal spot to relax, breathe in the fresh air, and reconnect with nature. For those planning a visit, there is a free car park nearby, making access easy and stress-free. In addition, there is a small, privately run campsite close to the woods, which must be booked in advance. Facilities include water outlets and toilets, though these appear to be seasonal. When we visited, the site was empty and the WCs were closed, but it looks like it would be a peaceful place to stay for anyone wishing to extend their time in the area. Overall, Chantry Woods is a delightful walking destination, offering just the right mix of woodland charm, open vistas, and gentle hills. It’s a wonderful reminder of the natural beauty lying just beyond Guildford, waiting to be explored. If you’re looking for a refreshing countryside escape, this walk is well worth adding to your list.

Absolutely stunning place. Especially, ones you get on the top of the hill it's just breathtaking views. Not far from London. Great, getaway to recharge and relax. Lovely people on the trails. Love it and recommended. Perfect to relax, recharge, hike. To add more, to this beautiful view, also you will find horses to watch - stunning.

One of my favourite places for a dog walk. Beautiful views and only a short walk from the Chantries woodland and St Martha's Church.

Super chill hill, great for dog lover ✨😳 Perfect for a picnic, you can see a wonderful view of the farm down the hill. Easy to go, doesn't take long to walk from the town center.

A lovely view and outdoor space incredibly close to the town centre if you don’t mind walking up the hill. Has been busy during COVID which is nice to see as people are using the space to get some fresh air and exercise. Bikes are allow along here, great access to the Surrey Hills if you are into riding. If you are lucky you might see a Deer in the chantry woods which are looked over from Pewley down

Nice to escape the town, even though it's a nice town. Some attractive ( and expensive ) properties enroute up to the downs but worth the walk. Views over to the right coming out of town are quintessential English countryside. Sadly, for me anyway, the views to the left once u head through the hedgerows to look back toward town and the nature reserve, are somewhat spoilt by an unacceptable housing development of identical town houses stretching in a long line away from the town. Personally I think the planning department in allowing this are not lovers of nature or country walks or even interesting English architecture. It's an eyesore. And yes, I do understand a need for housing, but I would not have allowed this to blight the area. Hence not a five stars for me.

A peaceful and scenic spot perfect for walking and nature lovers. The trails wind through beautiful heathland and woodlands, making it great for a relaxing stroll or a dog walk. A lovely escape into nature!

I love walking here, it’s beautiful and occasionally you seeing the Kites flying above you. Highly recommend wellies as it can get very wet and boggy after bad weather. Dog friendly and great for running too as there are lots of different paths you can take - just really wish the car park was bigger as, when busy, parking can be a pain!!

A delightful common area with multiple routes suitable for most mobility levels. Wheelchair users may struggle with many of the routes. Good for cycling and walking. The two pubs that back onto the common are worth a visit.

So many walks. Took my son cycling. There isn't always a clear path but children love the exploring. There is many routes that you can try. We will be trying out different routes.

Very busy today, car park was full had to park on the roadside which was quite precarious. Nice walk through the forest and onto the common, walk was cut short after the boardwalk was flooded at the end. Would recommend wellie boots or half calf length water proof boots for this walk.

Lovely place for dog walking and walking

Very peaceful woodland and easy sandy walking paths, big enough to not feel crowded, plenty of options depending on how energetic you're feeling! There is a car park but I would imagine it gets full quite quickly at busy times.

This is such a wonderful place for a gentle stroll or a picnic, and an absolute must-see destination in the Spring, when the bluebells are in bloom. The carpet of pretty flowers, with their delicious fragrance, set among contrasting lime green beech leaves is a tonic for the soul. There's a free car park nearby at Halfpenny Lane or you can even walk from Guildford, and you won't need a jetpack to get here. You should also consider combining your visit with a walk up to St. Martha's Church for some great views over the Tillingbourne Valley. If you've got a dog, bring it - dogs like it here. Your dog will have fun!

Seeking a peaceful nature escape near Guildford? Chantry Woods is a must-visit, especially now! It's a bluebell paradise, with vast carpets of vibrant blue creating a truly magical and fragrant experience. Enjoy relaxing strolls through the woods and take in the lovely views across the Surrey Hills. Late April/early May is peak bluebell season – don't miss it for a truly beautiful and calming experience! Remember to stick to the paths to protect the flowers.

Attractive area of woodland at its best during the Bluebell flowering season from mid April to early May. Walking through the woods and enjoying the occasional views over the Surrey Hills, you'd never guess you were so close to the edge of Guildford. There's free parking at St Martha's Hill a few minutes walk away. It's a great place for short dog walks not far out of town, or a good starting point for longer walks. Well marked paths head out over Martha's Hill and down into the Tillingbourne valley at Chilworth Gunpowder Mills.

Amazing vast wood area perfect for dog-walking and camping with marshmallows roasting over a bonfire Went for a camp trip previous in the warmer months with a couple of friends. Had a great time. Just remember to contact the council for permission first and bring the right gear.

Surprisingly nice. Bit of heather, loads of chestnuts and oaks. Pasture nearby. You can watch the species composition change as you move through the woods. Large enough and maintained enough that it's not eroded to pieces. A mycophile's dream -- dozens of mushroom species -- and the place is generally FERNtastic. ;)

A beautiful wild woodland with wonderful views and absolutely no facilities, which keep the rif raf away. One of my top places on the planet

Beautiful place, great to recharge, hike and getaway from the city to relax. Lovely people on the way, great place also to walk with 🦮🐕, some animals you might meet on the way like cows, horses and deers .

Really lovely park, very clean lots of free parking and swings play area for all ages, fun outdoor pool, all free, with tennis, and crazy golf, (payable) large gardens for walking.

Great place to walk. Hot chocolate from the kiosk was tepid. The play area was great with a very cool dance mat that got the blood going on a cold wintery day.

Lovely playground area, great splash park and toilets are available/clean. Haven’t tried the mini golf but that looks good. Certainly could spend half a day or longer in this location with kids, without any dramas and everyone having a good time

Nice park, great 90s slide. Parking easy at the weekend, but less so during the week. Toilets and cafe nearby in park

Great place. Go in the holidays and park free in the College car park. Lovely big paddling pool - only negative is they need more benches! Nice playground, little pond with a bridge, sensory garden- and all free! If you want to spend a little there is crazy golf and tennis and a cafe/ ice cream shack.

The park has had a bit of a touch-up but still needs bits replacing and fixing. Overall, it's a nice park for the kids, and it's got lots around it to also do/look at. Always have spare clothes and/or a towel handy as the kids will always want to play in the splash pad area too.

Nice park with a great paddling pool. Great fun for the kids during summer. The pond in the park is beautiful.

There is free car parking next to the park during school holiday times. The paddling pool is quite big and doesn't feel too overcrowded, even during busier times. Around the pool there are plenty of benches and shady areas to sit. The park has a large playground, duck pond, skate park, and huge field nearby for playing football or running off some steam! There are a couple of ice cream/food kiosks onsite for snacks and drinks. For an extra cost, there is also mini golf, although this in a little run down and in need of a bit of an investment. Guildford town centre is about a 10-15 minute walk away. Overall, this is a great place to go to for a few hours, especially with children.

Great place for families for summer's hot days. Pool is located in the heart of the park stylized in Japanese way. A lot of benches to sit down. Two kiosks with ice creams, soft drinks, crispsand slush ❄️ in normal price. There is a small waterfall next to pool. We have had a lot of fun last Sunday, in hot summer there isn't possible to take kids out of the pool. Only one thing, there is always a lot of people, so if that is problem, probably You will not enjoy to much.

Temporarily closed due to health risk with water. See website for updates / opening.

Closed again. 1 hour drive and no way of knowing if it's open.

Great family place perfect for a summer if we got one 🤣

Excellent place, kids have lots of fun, free parking, free entrance, clean water. Fully recommended

Clean and shady paddling pool, with lots of seats. Nice for families with young childern

Very friendly club; so many committed members; very good atmosphere for beginners. All the coaches are parent volunteers. One point to highlight, almost all the juniors leave when they get to 16, either they drop rowing completely or move to others clubs. For anyone wants to continue beyond, they may not find partners/crew and they will have to stop too.

Setting up our fishing tackle for my 8yr old son and hes 14yr old brother when we we’re verbally abused by a member of the rowing club who was a elderly lady who i believe was called sam she then directed a member of staff to lock all the doors and not to leave until we had gone i feel very offended and embarrassed that something like this would happen infront of alot of people who were members of the club

Great wedding venue.. The little Boat house Situated by the river...!

Very rude. Pulled up at the rowing club was ordered not to park there and was repeated told it was private land. The man didn't even enquire as to why we were there in the first place. Assumed we were parking. Not a very friendly rowing club.

Absolute class. Great club, very inclusive, keeps you extremely fit and is very social.

Great atmosphere, great people - the place to be if you want to row!

Rowed here from the ages of 13-15 and is a great place to socialise and get into the sport of rowing as a beginner.

Saw Peter Pan and the lusty boys at the weekend. Incredibly entertaining and already looking forward to next years adult panto!!

Peter Pan and the Lusty Boys - Adult Panto, visited on the 8th and laughed until the 9th, great entertainment

Saw my first Adult Panto last night & it certainly be won’t be my last. Recommended by friends that were booking for the 3rd year running I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I haven’t laughed so much in ages & everything about this production was brilliant. Very risqué and inappropriate but we loved it, especially the script & new lyrics to familiar songs. Well done everyone, a great start to Christmas!

Well done Charlotte and Nick for the great service you provide to your audience and to the many artists you booked - especially at such a difficult time. I attended 2 events this year - wish I had the time to see more. Keep up the fantastic work!

I have seen, over the past few years, a number of Guildford Fringe shows, they are all brilliant. We are so lucky, in Guildford, to have such a cultural mix of entertainment laid on for us by Nick and Charlotte, not only in the month of July, but at other times too. The Adult Pantomime is so clever and funny, a Christmas treat not to be missed.

I have been a supporter of Guildford Fringe for many years. Always a deliver a varied program with the Adult Panto being top of my list every year. It's great to support local artists too. Good work GF keep up the good work. We love you!

I attended my first Guildford Fringe Festival event where Nick Wyschna was interviewed by former Eagle Radio broadcaster - Peter Gordon. Obviously others had read the posting correctly, as there were only three people in the audience and where they would have had a full house if it had been the other way round talking about local radio in the town and the events of 31st August 2020. The ticket was £15.00 which seemed a lot for such an event and maybe £10 was more appropriate. Especially as we were told the event was being recorded and those not attending could hear the talk via a website for free. A rather enthusiastic blonde wanted us to buy a drink. Having paid for the event I stayed and heard about the formation of the Guildford Fringe Festival and a host of unknown artists and never about how if fitted within the larger Guildford Festival. One thing, which did surprise me was it was a professional organisation and not a charity. Then on leaving the same enthusiastic blonde leapt from her seat with a collecting bucket... Luckily it was only an hour long and I emerged into the town centre and went for a drink. Sadly I've had to give it one star solely to send the posting.

Great club, very knowledgeable coaches! A very welcoming environment.

magnificent instructors really know their business it is a pleasure to know them best wishes jimmy

Ferryhill countydurham

Open ground with slightly uneven gravel car park. A small group of us parked here to paddleboard the canal. A 'local' turned up telling us the car park was for 'local' people and proceeded to park across two car widths. Otherwise a good car park, no facilities in the area and 1.9m height barrier, campervan just scraped in! Good area for a walk along the canal though.

It is quite beautiful, but the sound from the nearby motorway killed the experience for me. I need tranquility to enjoy nature…

Had a lovely walk out with the dogs. Was nice to see so many families out today.

Great spot for running on a sunny day. Is a floodplain so it can be a bit wet but I run here regularly and it’s always nice going around the lake.

I've not been here for many years, and there have been many changes with better use of the garden area. The food was outstandingly good, with a limited menu making choosing less of a chore. Staff are more than helpful despite the warm day and heavy workload.

Peaceful. Nice place to unwind. Lovely lake too.

There is a distinctive smell from the treatment facilities.
