St Mary's Church Guildford
Quarry Street, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 3UP
An historic building at the centre of Guildford’s community offering a welcome and worship for hundreds of years, and recently sensitively updated to provide a 21st century welcome. A place of joint Anglican and Methodist worship and European Orthodox worship and a base for many other activities, including Guildford Street Angels.
Fabulous range of stained-glass windows from 19th to 21st centuries.
Brownies and Guides will offer pop-up café during Saturday opening. Tea and coffee available on other days
Special exhibition for HOD ‘Our Time 2’ showcasing original artworks (available for sale) from women prisoners who have been encouraged to develop their artistic talents, thanks to a partnership between Watts Gallery Trust, the Michael Varah Memorial Fund and HMP Send. Not only do the prisoners create works of art in weekly tutored sessions; since 2017 they have also planned and curated an annual in-prison exhibition for invited guests, learning new transferable skills including design, marketing, budgeting, time management, patience and public speaking.
