What visitors say
Highly recommend you give the new cafe a try. Great coffee, lovely people and pretty much everything homemade. Best cafe the Lightbox has ever had in our opinion. Worth coming across from the town centre for, and very convenient to the adjacent bus stop or Brewery Road car park.

Regret I only went for cafe. Good frienfly staff and reasonable range of hot and cold food. Good quality outside seating. Inside there is an extensive art gallery for which there is a fee or membership. On Wednesdays its up to you what you wish to pay.

Good local art gallery that has a good program of exhibitions. It is a bit small but, It has a interesting display of the history of Woking going back to medieval times. Nice cafe on the ground floor. Service is friendly and fast. Food is tasty and we'll cooked.

I visited The Lightbox for the first time recently when I attended a preview at the Art Fund Gallery. I enjoyed it so much that I planned a return visit, this time with more space to explore the exhibitions in the upstairs galleries. The galleries themselves are lovely, and a small museum also enhances the experience. It was fairly quiet during my visit, possibly because it was Easter, which made it even more relaxing. I enjoyed some food in the café before spending time viewing the current shows. The entire centre has a calm, welcoming atmosphere, with outdoor seating by the canal, making it a great spot to pause and take in the surroundings. I drove from London and found parking to be easy in the nearby car parks, all of which are within a short walking distance. It’s also close to the town centre and other attractions, making it easy to combine with a wider day out. It was reassuring to see places reopening after the lockdown, bringing life back to the area. The Lightbox has toilets, wheelchair access, and feels very accessible for visitors of all ages. A lovely place to spend a peaceful afternoon.
