Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Apply for a market stall pitch

If you are a market trader you may want to trade in Guildford. We have a variety of markets that might appeal to you and your business.

Farmers' market

  • it runs on the first Tuesday of the month (except January) in the Guildford High Street from 10.30am to 3.30pm
  • the producer must be based within a 50-mile radius of Guildford. Sometimes we will take a producer outside the catchment. This is only if it's a product that cannot be sourced within the radius
  • priority is given to primary producers including farmers, fishermen, growers, cheese-makers and brewers
  • bakers, jam makers, and some craft makers must use a certain amount of ingredients from the local area
  • where possible we prefer our products sold at the market to be:
    • reared
    • grown
    • caught
    • brewed
    • pickled
    • baked
    • smoked or processed by the stall holder

To apply for a pitch at Guildford Farmers' market email: events@guildford.gov.uk. Provide us with as much detail as possible about your business and produce.

North Street market 

  • it runs every Friday and Saturday from 8.30am to 5pm in North Street
  • this market is our regular one and turnover of traders is small
  • the rental charge for a pitch is £15 per metre frontage per day. This includes rubbish clearance, electricity, and water supply. It does not include a canopy or stall, so you need to bring your own
  • traders must provide proof of their right to work in the UK

We currently have a waiting list of traders that would like to join our North Street market. If you're applying for a pitch note that you will only hear from us if we have space available.
