"Up until the tenth century, Kingston stood on the border of two great kingdoms, Wessex and Mercia. King Athelstan then united the 2, and Kingston became a symbolic place of the united kingdom. As a consequence it became a place of coronation for future kings."
Strawberry Hill House is a stunning place. Enjoy the gardens for free or take a breather in their nice café round the back.

Joy to the World - Christmas Art Exhibition
The Christmas art exhibition at Guildford Cathedral is a highlight each year, featuring artwork from pupils of all ages, from nursery to sixth form. This year, schools explored the theme ‘Joy to the World’ inspired by Luke 2:10: ‘Don’t be afraid, because I am bringing you some good news. It will be a joy to all the people.’ The exhibition reflects on how Jesus brings joy and hope, even in difficult times. Please check the Guildford Cathedral website before visiting to check for any special events or services happening that day.Read more

These inspirational moments are unique to the Rock Choir experience. It's unbelievable and you can still join the choir.

Go to https://www.rockchoir.com/join to book you own FREE singing session to get a taste of singing with us Here is a quote about our choir - 'Rock Choir has given me a new dimension in life - I joined after my dad died as I knew I needed something new to focus on. I come down to choir on the train from home and in the winter waiting around at a freezing station is not very appealing when its lovely and warm at home, but I never want to miss a session no matter how tired, cold or grumpy I feel. When my husband picks me up he always says the same thing - I am always bubbly and happy and looking forward to the next week.' - Liz (Rock Choir Member) Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award [https://rockchoir.com/awards-achievements/]. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.Read more
