Since the first Mayor of Guildford was appointed in 1362, the role of the town’s first citizen has been held by over 600 people.

Here is a chance to learn about some of the distinguished, philanthropic, scandalous and devious citizens that have held the office down the years!

Enjoy a chance, in the presence of Guildford Mayor, Councillor Sallie Barker MBE, to look back at the history of the Mayors of Guildford. Former Mayor, Terence Patrick, will show a 45 minute film from local Circle Eight Film Makers (narrated by local historian Matthew Alexander), and you will have the opportunity to socialise over tea, coffee and cake.
