Large Conferences in Guildford

A conference venue that doesn't confine you to one room. For up to 120 delegates, presentations and workshops, or a hybrid event with remote attendees dialling in, we'll help you build the right combination of spaces rather than squeeze your event into a single one.

Most conferences here run from the Long Room, our largest space, set up theatre-style, cabaret-style, or open-plan for a product launch or AGM. Need private breakout space for smaller group work? The Terrace Room is right next door. Want delegates to actually leave their seats between sessions? The Roof Terrace and the Sports Ground give you outdoor breakout space most Guildford conference venues simply don't have.

Day delegate rates

From £36 + VAT per person (based on 120 delegates), including room hire from 9am–5pm, unlimited tea and coffee, three refreshment breaks, a finger-food buffet lunch, still water, full AV, free parking and a dedicated event specialist for the day. Prefer to build your own package? We'll put together bespoke room hire and catering to match.

Make a day of it

Conferences don't have to end when the agenda does. Add a Team Building session or an after-event BBQ on the ground, or turn a half-day conference into a full summer away day — see our Team Building page.

Planning something smaller?

For a private, boardroom-style meeting rather than a full conference, see Small Meetings.

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!

We recently held our third event at Guildford Pavillion and would definitely book again! 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!

We held a team day at the Guildford Pavilion a couple of days ago and I have nothing but praise for them. 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!

I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone at Guildford Pavilion for helping us celebrate our wedding. 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.
