Brief business description

The Electric Theatre is funded and managed by Guildford Borough Council. The theatre has fulfilled its ambition to give hundreds of local amateur performers the chance to perform in a professionally run, state of the art theatre. It is also in demand from professional touring companies and local businesses. It is home to a thriving youth theatre as well as prestigious Guildford Festivals i.e. the Guildford Book Festival and the International Music Festival which alternates years with the Guildford Spring Music Festival. The annual Film Festivals show a variety of classic, art house and world cinema.

Electric Theatre Cafe

I am always amazed that the Cafe at the Electric Theatre is not more busy - it's a real find right in the middle of the town, but with a fantastic terrace overlooking the river. It's well run with friendly staff - a real change from the masses of chain cafes, bars & restaurants on the High Street. The menu is simply, the food is quality & I love the fact that they use local foods sourced from local suppliers. Well priced & great value.

Don't forget the films!

Just visited the Electric Theatre twice in as many weeks picking up a couple of films from the Summmer 08 Film Festival (Part II). It's also home to a film club that meets once a month.So for the positives. It seems really well run - everyone from the people at the ticket office to staff on hand at the events seem really well organised, and, full of smiles. The bar/restaurant is very good. When ordering food just make sure to get your order in a good 45mins before showtime, as the kitchen can get very popular. The menu has a good selection of quick bites and more substantial eats all that look to be very good value for money.The theatre itself is good. Seats are fairly small and certainly not luxurious, but they are at least padded! The two films I saw were shown on a screen that I would have hoped would be slightly bigger, but due to the great films themselves (The Lives of Others and Into the Wild), this was soon forgotten about. And the sound quality was very good.The only downside is down to the fact that while the Electric Theatre produce very good leaflets and programmes about forthcoming events, this doesn't really translate to the website very well. Maybe this is due to the fact that they are at the mercy of the Borough Council's site - but getting good information online is not easy to obtain (but you do eventually get there in the end).
