Overview

About

Founded in 1992 in Guildford, Surrey, as the Guildford Festival of Folk and Blues, GuilFest took place at Stoke Park and broadened its lineup to include rock, indie, world music and reggae. After drawing up to 20,000 attendees across roughly ten stages, the event was revived in 2022 and returned to its original Stoke Park site in 2024.
