We welcome filmmakers

Guildford is a beautiful and diverse borough for filmmakers with rolling Surrey countryside, historic buildings, quaint villages as well as modern townscapes, a thriving university and business park, and a historic High Street.

Films shot here include The Holiday with Kate Winslet, Four Weddings and a Funeral and even the original Omen film which used our cathedral. The Wedding Date featured Chilworth Manor, Shere village church and the local countryside.
