Following the cancellation of last years event, fans of the festival GuilFest, bombarded Guildford Borough Council in their droves with requests for its rightful return, creating one of the largest petitions ever to grace the council’s website, and proving GuilFest has a truly special place in the hearts of music lovers everywhere.

Organisers are delighted to be back, and this year will see the original team (a team that swells to a number of over 2000 local people when the festival is in full swing!!) thoroughly committed to giving the town truly the best festival it has ever seen!  Not only this, but organisers have reduced ticket prices too – With a limited number of adult weekend with camping tickets available for just £100! –That’s a saving of over £30 on the same tickets for GuilFest 2012!!
