About Guilfest Festival London
Music festivals are a major attraction during the summer and some events can get so large that they require multiple stages and large staffs to keep everything in order. However, such large gatherings can become difficult to navigate and families with children find that they do not feel safe in such surroundings. The answer to over crowded and rowdy music festivals in London has come in the shape of Guilfest. The independent event is a medium sized festival that highlights music and arts of all kinds by setting up a campsite and tents in Stoke Park, Guildford. The event has bagged many awards and grown in popularity with families and children. The festival has a unique outlook and many participants enjoy the fun nature of the event and its broad scope of offerings. Guilfest tries to schedule events that satisfy a broad range of interests including music, theater, comedy and other arts.
