THE PLATINUM JUBILEE
Did someone say four-day weekend? That’s right. In honour of Her Majesty’s staggering seven decades spent in reign, celebrate in style this June and join any number of parties taking place in Surrey.
#CELEBRATEGUILDFORD & JUBILLE PICNIC IN THE CASTLE GROUNDS / GUILDFORD TOWN CENTRE
Awash with bunting, explore the town and find clues to unlock a Queen’s bounty of prizes in the Experience Guildford Jubilee Window Trail. Running until June 6, discover eight window stickers hidden around Guildford town centre, each containing one letter. Use the Window Trail Map to find each letter, then put them all together to create the competition’s winning Jubilee themed word. June 4 marks the Jubilee Picnic in the Castle Grounds. So bring out the bunting, picnic hampers and rugs, and join the Guildford in Bloom from 12 noon until 4 pm. Free to attend, expect live music for all to enjoy at the Bandstand and entertainment from Guildford Fringe Festival.
