About This Event

The Guildford Story is a free event taking place on August 13, 2026, at 10:00 at Tunsgate Arch in Guildford. The event highlights the city's history, including King John, Lewis Carroll, and Alan Turing.

Learn about King John, Lewis Carroll and Alan Turing. The Guildford Story is one of intrigue, achievement and discovery.

The highlights of our colourful history: the castle and its royal visitors, an archbishop with a fishy past, the house that Lewis Carroll chose, Alan Turing growing up, ancient inns and churches. This walk has something for everyone.

The walk is about a half a mile long with regular stops, and about 90 minutes in duration. The walk is out of doors so should wear suitable clothing for the prevailing weather conditions

We are fortunate that Guildford has such an interesting past with so many fascinating characters.'

- Nick, one of the Town Guides
