Guildford is the only Purple Flag town in Surrey

and one of only 70 in the country. So your stay in

town will be safe, clean and vibrant.

WelcomeGuildford and its neighbouring towns and villages are an ideal location to hold a meeting, conference or event. Choose from stylish hotels, academic establishments or the more unusual settings provided by our stately homes or sporting venues. Our venues guide makes it easy for you to organise anything from a workshop to a wedding!

With excellent road and rail links, and close proximity to Heathrow and Gatwick airports, delegates

and guests can gather in Guildford, Woking, Dorking and the surrounding countryside with great ease.

Surrey is easily accessible however you choose to travel. Although London is less than 40 miles away

and approximately 30 minutes by train, the area is surrounded by rolling countryside and many

venues in this guide are in peaceful rural areas.

The beautiful countryside and picturesque villages were the setting for the London 2012 Olympic

Road Cycle Races and the Tour of Britain final leg in September 2012. Many countries chose Surrey

for their pre-games training camps so what better place to hold your own team building events.

A venue location service is available to enable you to find the ideal venues for your meeting,

conference or special event. For a FREE venue search, contact us on [email protected]

or telephone 01483 444333/444396 giving full details of your requirements. Alternatively visit the

venues on our website www.visitguildford.com. We will contact all the appropriate venues featured

in this guide and let you know which ones are able to accommodate your event. We can also provide

ideas on accommodation and entertainment in the area.

Jane Evans, Chief Executive of MIA comments, “Preparation is the key to success in organising your event. You must cover all requirements of your brief and some the brief fails to mention. Making notes and keeping a record will ensure you know who and what should be where and when and who is responsible for all actions.”

Questions to ask when organising an eventIt is crucial to ask the right questions.

Initially, what is the event’s budget? How

many people are expected to be attending?

What is the desired duration of the event and

what time of day should it begin and end?

Indeed it may be an event that continues over

several days so accommodation will also be

important.

So at the outset you need answers to the following:

What is the objective of the event?

How will its success be measured?

What is the budget?

What is the event duration in days?

What is the preferred date of the event?

What are the timings of the event?

How many delegates are expected to

attend?

What is the format of the event i.e. will

breakout rooms be required and what

seating arrangements are preferred?

Are there international delegates that

need accommodation?

Will there be any disabled delegates or

speakers in attendance?

What level of accommodation is

appropriate?

How many guest speakers will there

be, if any?

How many in house speakers will

there be?

Are there to be breakout sessions, if so

how many and how many people will

they need to accommodate?

Inviting attendeesYou will need to promote the event to

delegates. You may need to print

invitations and build a web page providing

additional details. Tell delegates how to

RSVP – there are a number of options,

post, telephone, email or online form.

Also consider refreshments, catering,

speaker and entertainment requirements.

It may be up to you to determine these.

Find out in advance so that you know what

you are expected to do.

What to look for during a venue showroundGet the venue right and you are at least

half way to organising a successful event,

this is why accreditations such as AIM are

so important. As well as appealing to the

delegates that are attending the event, you

will also need to assess the location,

accessibility of facilities, in particular

whether they are accessible for disabled

people, and ease of access to the venue.

Get to know the teamYou will rely on the venue’s event team for

a large proportion of the event delivery, so

you must be sure you can rely on them.

Their enthusiasm and willingness to be

flexible to your needs is as important as

their experience, so make sure you get to

know them as much as you can and don’t

be afraid to ask as many questions as you

need.

Presentation capabilitiesBy the time you begin to select a venue you

should be aware of most of the facilities

you will need, make sure you check all

aspects of your event programme are

possible at the venue. Ask for a

demonstration of technical equipment;

does the sound system cover the whole

room evenly? Can the venue support any

audio visual equipment you may bring in?

Can the stage be seen clearly from all

angles?

So to summarise on your visit to the venue

review the following:

Ease of access

Parking

The welcome

Accessibility of meeting/conference

space

Disabled access routes
