Experience Guildford, the town’s Business Improvement District, has launched its free Official Guildford App, for use on mobile phone and tablets.

Aimed at both residents and visitors to the town, Experience Guildford says the app “aims to showcase all the attractions and attributes of Guildford and includes a directory of the town’s shops, leisure and lifestyle businesses”.

Experience Guildford has launched the Official Guildford App for mobile phones and tablets.

Key features include a live feed car park availability function, offering real-time information on the best places to park and the number of spaces currently available.

Users can also tap into the latest offers available from town centre businesses via the Experience Guildford online privilege card, plus view an up-to-the minute Guildford what’s on guide, with detail of the town’s best night spots and places to eat out.

Experience Guildford says the app will “put all the essentials needed to plan and make the most of a visit to the town right at the user’s fingertips, becoming the perfect on-the-go accessory for a fabulous day or evening out in Surrey’s premier county town.”

Amanda Masters, general manager of Experience Guildford, added: “Launching the new Official Guildford App marks an exciting development for the BID collective and a fabulous new chapter in the marketing and exposure of our town.

“It’s a really technically savvy bit of kit, but it’s main unique selling point is its simplicity, putting the best that Guildford has to offer right in the palm of your hands.

“The new parking function utilises the latest GEOmii real-time parking technology, delivered by Ethos in conjunction with Guildford Borough Council. This will revolutionise the visitor experience to the town, making parking much quicker and more convenient by directing people straight to a vacant parking space.”

To celebrate the launch of the app, Experience Guildford is offering a free prize draw to win £250 to spend in the town for anyone who signs up to the privilege card via the app during October.

Experience Guildford says The Official Guildford App is available for free from the Apple® App Store or the Android™ Market and you can register your details on the ‘Offers & Discounts’ page to be in with a chance to claim the prize.

Plus, look out for further monthly competitions and incentives along with more information on the Official Guildford App at: www.experienceguildford.com and the Experience Guildford Facebook page.
