A snapshot of life at Guildford Plaza.
Monthly welcome socials: Moving into a new home can be daunting, but our monthly welcome socials make settling in effortless. Designed to help new residents feel at home, these gatherings provide the perfect opportunity to introduce yourself, get to know your neighbours, and learn more about everything Guildford Plaza has to offer. Whether you’re relocating for work, university, or just a change of scenery, this is your chance to build connections from day one.
Themed dinner parties: Food has a way of bringing people together, and our themed dinner parties are a great way to share a meal while discovering new flavours from around the world. Residents bring a dish from their favourite cuisine or home country, creating an international dining experience that sparks conversation and camaraderie. It’s a fun, relaxed way to celebrate the diversity of our community while enjoying incredible home-cooked food.
Fitness & wellbeing classes: Living well starts with feeling good, and our fitness and wellbeing events make it easy to stay active without leaving home. From yoga and pilates to group HIIT workouts, our on-site gym and multipurpose studio are regularly used for instructor-led classes. Whether you’re a fitness fanatic or just getting started, you’ll find something that fits your pace. Plus, with gym access included in your rent, you’re saving up to £50 a month compared to an external gym membership.
Weekly movie nights: Nothing beats a cosy night in with a great film. Our weekly movie nights bring residents together to enjoy a mix of classic favourites, new releases, and themed screenings. Held in our stylish communal lounge, it’s the perfect way to unwind after a long day. Grab some popcorn, settle in, and enjoy the big-screen experience without leaving home.
Game nights: Whether you’re into classic board games, card tournaments, or console gaming, our game nights are a great way to challenge friends and neighbours to some friendly competition. With our dedicated Gaming Room, featuring large smart TVs and space for multiple consoles, there’s plenty of room for esports enthusiasts and casual gamers alike.
Skill-sharing & networking events: Learning something new is always more fun when you do it together. Our skill-sharing workshops give residents a chance to teach and learn from one another, whether it’s photography, coding, cooking, or even DIY crafts. Meanwhile, our networking events create opportunities for young professionals and entrepreneurs to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas. If you work remotely or run a business, these events provide a fantastic chance to expand your network within the community.
DIY crafting & creative workshops: Looking for a way to unleash your creativity? Our DIY crafting nights offer a space for residents to create home décor, jewellery, art, and more. Whether you’re an experienced maker or just trying something new, these sessions are a great way to de-stress and get inspired.
Cultural Celebrations & Seasonal Gatherings: At Guildford Plaza, we embrace diversity by hosting cultural celebrations and seasonal gatherings throughout the year. From Lunar New Year to Diwali, Christmas to Halloween, we love bringing people together to share traditions, food, and festivities. These events offer a chance to learn about different cultures while celebrating in a warm and welcoming environment.
Themed cocktail & mocktail evenings: Socialising over drinks doesn’t always have to mean a night out. Our Themed cocktail and mocktail evenings give residents the chance to try creative drink recipes in a relaxed, social setting. Whether it’s a summer spritz night, a winter warmers menu, or a mixology masterclass, these events are a great way to unwind and enjoy good company.
