Tips & Advice
- Pre-book online once booking opens to use the dedicated VIP scanning lane and skip the queue at the door.
- Wear comfortable shoes if you come by train or bus, because both routes end with an uphill walk to the Cathedral on Stag Hill.
- Drive carefully up the Cathedral approach from the A3 roundabout, because it has no footpath and people walk up the road.
- Cyclists can lock their bikes at the cycle rack behind the Cathedral office.
- Makers who want a stall next year can email events@guildford-cathedral.org to join the mailing list for the next call for applications.
Special Events & Promotions
- Pre-booked tickets get fast-track entry through a dedicated VIP scanning lane.

Frequently Asked Questions
What will I find at the fair?
More than 50 independent stalls from selected makers, artisans and specialists. They sell art and craft pieces, home décor, independent fashion and jewellery, plus luxury treats and drinks.
Should I book ahead or just turn up?
Either works. Pre-booking online gets you fast-track entry through a dedicated VIP scanning lane. Walk-ins are welcome and can pay at the door.
Where can I get a coffee or a bite?
Seasons Café, at the Cathedral, is the place to stop and refuel during your visit.
Where do I park?
The on-site car park gives Cathedral visitors two hours of parking. During events there may also be overflow parking, which has its own charges.
Can I get there without a car?
Yes. From Guildford station, take the Guildford Park Road exit and walk about 10 minutes uphill. Bus routes 4 and 5 stop at the bottom of the Cathedral approach, which leaves a 5-minute uphill walk.
