The cost of the Reunion Dinner includes pre-dinner drinks followed by a five-course dinner with wines from the Fellows’ Cellar. Guests will then have an opportunity for post-dinner drinks in the Pelican Bar. Due to capacity and the popularity of the event, guests will not be able to attend.

The dress code is Black Tie; no gowns are worn.

There will be a seating plan for the dinner, if you are coming with friends, please let us know the seating preferences on the booking form. We will otherwise seat you with people of your matriculation year or subject. If you would not like to be included in the Guest List, please let us know in the booking form. 

Due to the popularity of Reunion Dinners and space limitations in Hall, places will be allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. 

Please note that rooms in College are now fully booked.
