Events at Guildford Bandstand are not terribly well publicised so you may need to take pot luck as to whether there is anything on or not.
In general, Sunday afternoons (from about 2pm) from June through September are your best bet for catching a local band on this pretty bandstand.
Situated in the upper part of castle park the bandstand has excellent views down hill across the bowling greens to the castle and beyond.
For players the bandstand is basic offering just about enough room for 25 players and a couple of power sockets. There's no green room. Chairs are provided.
For the audience it's advisable to bring a blanket or collapsible chair as the ground is lumpy and often a little muddy. There's a good amount of shade for those (rare) sunny afternoons.
Concerts are free. read more
