Looking for a family friendly festival with a world class line-up? Look no further than GuilFest; an independently run, friendly festival in the lush surroundings of Guildford's Stoke Park. 

Confirmed headliners for Guilfest 2011 are the multi-award winning James Blunt and Brit rockers Razorlight, who'll appear on the Saturday and Sunday nights respectively. 

James Blunt last entertained Guildford crowds as a little known artist back in 2004, and now three huge albums, two world tours and a string of prestigious awards later, organisers are delighted to welcome him back to GuilFest, this time taking his rightful place as headliner and closing the festival on the Main Stage.

Fronted by outspoken lead singer Johnny Borell, Razorlight are one of the key guitar bands of the last decade, having sold over 4 million albums, performed to sell-out crowds on arena tours and festivals, and featured on the front cover of magazines from NME to Vogue.  Formed in London in the summer of 2002, the band shot to fame with their critically acclaimed 2004 debut album, 'Up All Night', reaching number 3 in the UK charts, and spawning no less than 5 UK top 40 singles including seminal classics "Somewhere Else" and "Golden Touch".

Over the coming weeks, many more announcements will be made about who you can see on all the stages at GuilFest 2011, including the Rock Cave and Dance Tent, as well as the top performers you can see in the Comedy and Theatre Tents and everywhere else at the festival this year.

As regular GuilFest visitors will know, you can expect a massively eclectic variety of music and entertainment across the many different stages at the festival, as well as great facilities such as the Kidzone - easily one of the best festival children's areas in the whole country!

And with its huge 150 foot beer tent serving its very own GuilFest bitter, Calypso cocktail bar, Comedy Zone, Theatre tent, 70s Disco, Dance tent and much much more, GuilFest caters for young and old alike - for local visitors or families wanting to just come for the day, or for the whole weekend for a three day mini holiday! 

Guildford's outdoor swimming Lido and Spectrum Leisure Centre on either side of the festival grounds offer easy breaks from the main festival site with a refreshing swim as well as a showering opportunity for the campers. 

All in all, GuilFest has something for everyone with its friendly relaxed vibe and eclectic mix of music and entertainment.
