Guildford Taste Festival 2027
The Guildford Taste Festival is the annual fundraising festival hosted and run by Guildford Cricket Club at the Sports Ground, Woodbridge Road, Guildford, Surrey. It began in 2010 as the Guildford Beer Festival and over fifteen editions grew into one of Surrey's best-known annual food and drink festivals, drawing thousands of visitors across two days of sessions. In 2026 the organisers renamed the event the Guildford Taste Festival, broadening the programme from beer to artisan food, street food, craft drink, live music, tasting talks, a bake competition and family activities, with more than 70 local producers and four ticketed sessions across two days. In July 2026 Guildford Cricket Club announced that the 2026 edition would be paused, and that a new fundraising event was planned for September 2027. The festival is staged mainly under large marquees at the Railway End of the ground, with outdoor seating and picnic areas, and all profits go to the club and local charities.
Next edition: September 2027. The organiser's own site at guildfordbeerfestival.co.uk announces "NEW EVENT COMING SOON! Guildford Cricket Club, September 2027", so only the month is confirmed and the row carries a September month window. The organiser's Instagram bio (@guildfordtastefestival) also reads "19-20 Sept | 2027", but 19-20 September 2027 falls on a Sunday and Monday, which breaks the festival's Saturday-Sunday two-day pattern, and that pair matches the previous editions' dates exactly; it is therefore treated as a carryover rather than a confirmed 2027 day range, and no specific days or session hours are published here. The newer brand domain guildfordtastefestival.co.uk currently resolves to a default cPanel landing page with a certificate name mismatch and serves no event content, so the live legacy domain is used as the official website and source.
