Located in the centre of Woking on the banks of the Basingstoke Canal, The Lightbox was built to provide arts and heritage services to the local region and beyond.

The project began in 1993 when a group of local volunteers decided to try and establish a cultural centre in the Woking area.

General Admission Free: This includes the Café, the Shop, the Art Fund Prize Gallery and Woking's Story museum.

Entrance to Main and Upper Gallery exhibitions only with a Day Pass which has increased (May 2024) from £9.50 to £12.50 (with the option of an additional £1 donation to The Lightbox charity programme).

Past exhibitions at The Lightbox have included collections of work by Elisabeth Frink, Gertrude Jekyll, Auguste Renoir, Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, John Constable, Henry Moore, Bridget Riley, David Remfry[7] and Michael Ayrton.
