Tips & Advice

- 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.

Where can I get a coffee or a bite?
Seasons Café, at the Cathedral, is the place to stop and refuel during your visit.
