Who is Percy you ask?
Percy’s Playground is named after Harry Percival Lyons, a colourful circus performer and publican of The Stirling Arms Hotel back in the 1870s. He brought fun and excitement to Guildford.
Harry Lyons turned The Stirling Arms into a place of fun and excitement – with Fireworks, pony races and even circus acts on these very grounds.
His Legacy was joy, laughter and community – and that’s exactly what Percy’s Playground is for.
