Discover Guildford’s hidden gem – a beautiful café, curated as a space to retreat and connect with friends for a bite to eat.
An accredited social enterprise, The Hideaway is a creative retreat perfect for meeting friends for expertly brewed coffee, loose leaf tea and a variety of tasty light bites.
More than a destination café for those in search of a space to recharge, this charming rendezvous has a big heart, as every item purchased contributes vital funds to projects supporting at-risk young people across Guildford Borough.
An initiative of Matrix, the seasoned café team is enriched with young people who need a boost into employment – here they gain valuable on-the-job experience and benefit from mentoring and a life skills programme.
Hideaway events.
Hideaway events embody our values of retreat – connect – create. From creative workshops, to sunset pamper evenings and games nights you can find time for yourself or to hang out with friends.
Each new season starts with a transformation of the interior to match the time of year and with this change comes a series of events to help you make the most of each cycle.
We are always looking for new collaborators to provide workshops or run events, email hello@thehideaway.cafe if you’d like to join the fun.
Positioned in the heart of Guildford with a terrace overlooking Allen House Gardens and café facilities on tap, The Hideaway is the perfect space to host your event, training course or family gathering.
“WE HAD A LOVELY DAY… EVERYTHING WORKED REALLY WELL. I WOULDN’T HESITATE TO HOLD A PARTY THERE AGAIN”
Café The whole café space is available to hire for private events on Sundays (or evenings by arrangement). A brilliant spot for children’s parties, private lunches or events.
Meeting Room The private meeting room provides a confidential space for you to meet the team or run a workshop and opens up onto the café giving your team or attendees access to our full menu and facilities.
Super lovely spot, with a really peaceful vibe. Definitely worth a visit, especially as it's a social enterprise, which means you're supporting the local community as well as getting great food and drinks!
