Welcome to the Guildford Summer Festival 2015 I am delighted to introduce the wonderfully broad programme of events planned for this year’s Guildford Summer Festival, which runs from 12th June until 8th August 2015.

The programme includes traditional events such as the Town Centre Cycle Races, the Raft Race, town centre Craft Markets and, for the cricket fans amongst us, the Guildford Cricket Festival.

I am also very proud that Guildford has been chosen to host the Armed Forces Day National Event this year. We are planning an exciting line-up of family focused activities on Saturday 27 June, with free entry to watch the High Street military parade and spectacular show in Stoke Park.

There will of course also be many other events across the borough, so whether your interest is music, drama, sport, walking or taking part in community events, I am sure you will find something to enjoy.

Let us hope the weather is kind to us and the whole family can enjoy the full range of diverse events, many of which I am hoping to attend myself – it is going to be a busy summer!

Details of all events are contained in this brochure.

Let me take this opportunity to thank all the event organisers, sponsors and contributors for their efforts, without them the Guildford Summer Festival would not be possible.

Councillor Nikki Nelson-Smith Mayor of Guildford

• spectacular show in Stoke Park with stalls and static displays from about 10.30am, with music and entertainment until 7.30pm when the event closes.

Entry is free and no tickets are required to watch the parade or enter the Stoke Park event.

There was a public ballot for tickets to attend the Cathedral service, as places are limited.

We will announce more acts and detailed information nearer the time. Here is a taste of things to enjoy.

Live action in Stoke Park starts at 1pm. Military highlights include:

• The Royal Signals White Helmets Motorcycle Display Team • The Royal Navy ‘Raiders’ Parachute Display Team • The Royal Air Force Queen’s Colour Squadron • The Band of the Royal Marines, Massed Bands, Apache and Merlin Helicopters • An Infantry Combat Battle Display.
