Woodbridge Road is the historic home of Guildford Cricket Club, and each summer it hosts Surrey County Cricket Club for the Guildford Cricket Festival — a much-loved week of county cricket in a charming setting. Whether it's a festival day, a local match, or a Guildford trip, a fixed-price taxi makes getting there easy. This guide covers Woodbridge Road cricket and Guildford taxi fares.
Each summer, Surrey CCC decamp from the Oval to Woodbridge Road for the Guildford Cricket Festival — a week of county cricket enjoyed in a traditional, festival atmosphere quite different from the big London ground. It's a popular fixture in the Surrey cricket calendar, drawing good crowds to this charming town-centre ground. A fixed-price taxi is the easy way there, saving the parking hunt near the busy central location.

The Guildford Cricket Festival is a lovely, relaxed day out, and its town-centre location means Guildford's pubs, restaurants and shops are close by for before and after play. Many make a full day of it, and a taxi makes moving between the ground, the town and home easy — especially handy for enjoying a drink in the festival atmosphere without worrying about driving.
The staging of county cricket at Woodbridge Road represents one of the most cherished traditions in the Surrey cricketing calendar, a moment each summer when the county's first-class cricket steps away from the grand stage of the Kia Oval in south London to be played in the altogether more intimate and traditional surroundings of Guildford Cricket Club. There is a particular charm to festival cricket of this kind, with spectators able to sit close to the boundary in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere quite different from the larger Test grounds, enjoying top-level sport in a setting that harks back to an earlier and gentler era of the game, often with the sunshine of high summer completing the picture. The Guildford Cricket Festival has become a firmly established fixture that draws loyal crowds and adds to the town's sporting life, and its town-centre location at Woodbridge Road means it sits conveniently close to Guildford's amenities. That central position, however, brings the perennial challenge of limited parking, which becomes all the more acute during the busy festival week when visitor numbers swell, and it is precisely here that a fixed-price taxi proves its value, carrying spectators directly to the ground and collecting them afterwards without the frustration of hunting for a space, and allowing those who wish to enjoy the relaxed, sociable atmosphere of festival cricket to do so without any concern about driving.
