The Gruesome, Ghastly Guildford event will take place at Tunsgate Arch in Guildford, with a start time of 16:30 on August 14, 2026. The event is an outdoor activity with various performers, and admission is free.
From royal betrayals and witchcraft, to plague, prison & public executions - hear the grisly tales that shaped Guildford.
Warning: some stories contain mature themes & not recommended for children under 12yrs
Guildford has the reputation of being rather prim and proper, even slightly dull. However on this walk, we aim to bring to light some of the unsavoury events in our history: the stinks and smells, murder, witchcraft and other crimes, the cruel punishments, and a massacre.
Be ready to be shocked!
