Woking’s history stretches from ancient entries in the Domesday Book as ‘Wochinges’ to its Victorian expansion, boosted by the railway and Wey Navigation and Basingstoke Canal systems. This history is clear in the diverse architecture of its venues, where older structures stand alongside modern developments. You’ll find spaces that echo the town's canal heritage, like converted waterside buildings, and more contemporary establishments in the town centre and around Woking Wharf. This blend offers a varied setting for gatherings, from refurbished spaces reflecting Old Woking's origins to modern facilities.
