Time: 12 noon to 4pm

Venue: Guildford Castle Grounds, Castle Street, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 3UW

Admission: Free

The event is free to attend, and Guildford in Bloom hope people will come along with friends and family, bring a picnic and enjoy an afternoon’s entertainment from the bandstand organised by Guildford Fringe Festival.  

The event has been sponsored by Guildford Fringe Festival, Experience Guildford and Tunsgate Quarter and without their generous support – and the support of our Premium Sponsors; Chapters Financial Ltd and Unigold 2000 Ltd as well as the University of Surrey and Guildford Financial, and Guildford Pubwatch this event could not happen.

 In addition to the live music, you can have a go at bowling on the bowling green with Castle Green Bowls club as they celebrate their 100th year.  There will also be a Pimms Tent, a Gin Tent with Silent Pool Gin, Cocktails from Fallen Angel and lots of stalls with activities for the children.  Guildford in Bloom will be joined by The Fountain Centre, Canterbury Care Centre, Halow Project, Headway Surrey, Surrey Wildlife Trust, BBC Surrey, Experience Guildford, Guildford Twinning Association, Guildford Beekeepers Association and Guildford Pranksters. There will be facepainting for the children and lots of games.

People coming to Blooming Picnic can bring chairs and picnic rugs but no tables or gazebos please. Well behaved dogs are very welcome, but owners need to be aware that it gets crowded and loud.
