Welcome to The Guildford Institute

Our community hub is open to all, with a programme of activities on offer including courses, talks and events. A variety of professional therapists and counsellors operate from our new Community & Wellbeing Centre. We also host many community groups and our building is home to V Café and a historic Library and Archive.
