Our summer show is an open air production
at Farnham Castle, where the dry moat provides a perfect outdoor amphitheatre for theatre 'al fresco'. This production is a
costumed, large cast play, frequently of a classical nature. It attracts capacity audiences who picnic on the moat banks and
enjoy the special ambience of summer outdoor theatre. Want to get involved? Click here for details.

HISTORY
The company name
is an amalgam of Guildford , the area in which it
toured its productions, and Albury , the Surrey village in which the society originated in 1963. For the first four years the company
mainly produced musicals, touring them around local villages and small towns using an old double decker bus for transport
that became a local celebrity in its own right, attracting much attention wherever it went.
