Guildford Mapped Out

Come along to Guildford Mapped Out to see maps of the town centre from the 1700s, 1800s and 1900s. See pictures of the streets, buildings, and objects found like 'buried treasure'. Discover how much has changed, and what has stayed the same. Why not enjoy completing our family fun activity sheet too?

Drop-in, suitable for ages 6+.

Come rest awhile

Our secluded courtyard at Guildford House is an oasis of calm amongst the hustle and bustle of the town centre. If the weather's fine, our garden furniture will be out, so feel free to drop by and rest awhile enjoying the peace and quiet, (weather dependent).

This exhibition will feature a selection of figurative drawings showing intimate portrayals of Black men. They're rendered in vibrant coloured pencil on paper. Curtis' works offer a view of his subjects, exploring identity, masculinity and emotion.
