Located in the courtyard of Guildford House, a grade II listed building, circa 1700 which now houses a gift and craft shop along with a flexible meeting and exhibition space. Original use was possibly a brew house for Guildford House. Beer was the main household drink until the mid 19th century and was brewed mostly at home. Large houses often had a separate brewhouse such as this one.

Guildford Cathedral is the People’s Cathedral - a place of welcome, worship, inspiration and engagement for people of all ages. There is no charge for entry. As well as the rhythm of daily worship the Cathedral is a wonderful modern building, with an interior bathed in light providing a rich contrast to the strong and determined exterior. The People’s Cathedral was completed through the generosity of thousands of ‘brick-givers’ and that tradition lives on through the lives of the vibrant community of all who work and live and visit here. Whenever you visit you will be very welcome. We look forward to seeing you.
