Ben’s Collectors Records is open 7 days per week and runs the monthly Guildford Record Fair. If you have any records for sale drop them into the shop.

Ben Darnton has loved music all his life and from early days he has collected records and thanks to his parents and grandparents all being into music, hes turned his hobby into his career for over 30 years! Currently celebrating 22 years of survival at the convenient location at 5 Tunsgate, Guildford,Surrey,GU13QT despite high rents and rates and of course the ever increasing parking charges, the shop continues to thrive.For the last 7 years Ben has organised the increasingly popular monthly Guildford Record Fair in the historical Guildhall located under the clock nearby in the cobbled High Street, Guildford.

With 20 stalls of discs and free entry the fair attracts over 700 visitors every time making it one of the busiest record fairs in the UK. Ben is always interested in buying your unwanted records and can sell rare items on a commission basis if preferred so why not drop them in for a no obligation quote?

Customer reviews of Ben’s collector’s records

I’ve discovered so much great music thanks to Ben’s recommendations, and the atmosphere and conversations in the shop make it a real pleasure to visit. There’s always something special or unexpected waiting to be found. You can take a chance on an intriguing-looking record for less than you’d spend on a coffee. For many years this place has broadened my tastes and kept me happy.


Proper vinyl store. My son and husband love this little gem and always visit when we are in Guildford for a stroll! Great finds and friendly owner too!


A large proportion of my record collection has come from Ben’s. A very friendly, knowledgeable bloke who is a pleasure to buy from.

One Sunday some months ago, I spent about 2-and-a-half hours thumbing through every single record in the shop whilst listening to ‘(among others) Jose Feliciano – Feliciano!” an LP I ended up buying (among others). It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Very rarely am I left empty handed when I make my (not often enough) pilgrimage to Tunsgate.


Great shop – will always find something!


Bens is a superb shop, and a great fella too…..always had a chat with Ben over the years, even back when he used to work in other shops.. always has time for people and especially those who share his love of music . He’s been in this shop for years now and built up a great reputation… make time for a visit, you’ll be glad you did.

Location

The shop is situated in Tunsgate in Guildford Town Centre. It can be acessed from Castle Street by car or on foot from Guildford High Street and through the Portico archway.

Guildford Castle is another prominent historical feature and can be viewed from right outside the shop.
