Awards Dinners & Gala Evenings in Guildford

An unusual dinner venue for an occasion that deserves more than a hotel ballroom. The Long Room seats up to 120 guests for dining, with a genuine blank-canvas feel — floor-to-ceiling windows, a private balcony, and decor that takes to theming, lighting and staging without a fight.

Five reasons event planners choose us for awards evenings: a true blank canvas to theme however you like, state-of-the-art AV for presentations, screens and hybrid streaming, full accessibility throughout, bespoke menus built around your event, and a purpose-built cashless bar that keeps service moving all night. If your evening opens with a drinks reception, the 6 O'Clock Roof Terrace sets the tone before guests move through to dinner.

What's included

Five hours of venue hire, a Prosecco reception on arrival, your choice of a three-course, two-course, or buffet dinner, half a bottle of wine per person, and still and sparkling water throughout.

Running an awards evening alongside a conference or company day? See our Conferences page to combine the two.

The Guildford Pavilion recently hosted our company’s annual Summer Social, and our team unanimously agreed it was our best one yet. That success is entirely thanks to the seamless organization and exceptional support of the events team. The food was truly outstanding, but the hospitality and atmosphere made the evening extra special. The staff went above and beyond—they were remarkably welcoming, attentive, and even set up a interactive cotton candy station for us, which was a delightful and memorable touch! Combined with great music that kept the energy high all evening, the entire event was a complete hit. Thank you to the entire team for making our event such a success!

The venue is fabulous, staff are efficient and helpful and its a great location too! In my experience, great food always makes an event. We have had their internal caterers twice and this year we went for a BBQ with Keely's kitchen and it was exceptional! Great coffee too! We all had a wonderful day, thank you!

Saffron and the team worked miracles and nothing was too much bother for them. The venue is immaculate and the meeting room and facilities are perfect for a large group. We also had a team building company come to set up outside which again was professionally handled by the team, including getting us ice creams on one of the hottest days of the year! The BBQ was excellent and literally all dietary requirements were covered which made everyone feel included. I cannot recommend this place more and we'll be back!

They were fantastic through out the planing process and were always there to help throughout the day. The space was perfect for us to dance and enjoy the day with all of our loved ones.
