Private Parties in Guildford

Staff parties, corporate entertaining, christenings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays — whatever you're celebrating, we'll help you find the right space and the right feel for it, from an intimate gathering of 10 to a full-scale bash for 160.

The Long Room accommodates up to 160 guests and is the natural fit for bigger parties with a dance floor and full catering. For something smaller and more personal — a 40th, a christening, a close-friends gathering — the Terrace Room suits groups of 10 to 40. In the summer months, ask us about hosting on the 6 O'Clock Roof Terrace too. Free, accessible parking with lift access to all floors makes the whole venue easy for every guest.

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.
