Events — It’s Giving Guildford this Christmas
29/11/2025 until 13/12/2025
The Friary Guildford is bringing all the festive feels this year with three Saturdays of seasonal fun.
Join us on 29th November, 6th December and 13th December from 11am to 3pm for joyful moments, hands-on activities and simple ways to spread a little kindness.
Here’s what’s on:
Santa’s Swap Stop
A festive highlight that celebrates giving in a fun, magical way.
Bring a small gift or make a donation using the JustGiving QR code to support local charities including:
- St Mungo’s
- Guildford Food Bank
- Home-Start
- Shooting Star Children’s Hospice.
Pop your gift at Santa’s window, ring the golden bell, and watch as Santa’s gloved hand appears with a surprise. It’s a lovely way to share the Christmas spirit.
Craft for a Cause
A relaxed drop-in session where you can make decorations, cards and ornaments. Everything made will be donated to local hospitals, care homes and community groups. A simple gesture that makes a big difference.
Sleigh My Selfie
Don’t forget to stop by our festive photo spot complete with sleigh and sparkling décor. Snap your best Christmas photo and share it using #ItsGivingGuildford for the chance to win a £250* festive prize bundle.
With festive fun, feel-good moments and lots of ways to give back, The Friary Guildford is ready to make your Christmas season shine.
