Our Anniversary events 2026/27

We look forward to welcoming our current students and alumni to our anniversary events next year. Please keep an eye on these pages for further updates closer to the time.


Cathedral Service (Wednesday 25 November 2026)

A highlight of our anniversary year, this special service at Durham Cathedral will celebrate 20 years of the College through readings, performances, and music. All alumni, along with family and friends, are warmly invited. A drinks reception in College will take place before the 7.30pm service. The service will also feature a scratch choir led by alum Tori Longdon (‘12), open to all - no experience needed, with music shared in advance and a rehearsal on the day.


Anniversary Formal Dining (various dates)

During the anniversary year, we will be offering additional formal dining opportunities in Howlands Hall, with around 12 formals planned (mainly on Mondays). Alumni are welcome to attend either individually or in groups. Dates and themes will be confirmed soon, please register your interest to receive further details.


Alumni Weekend (23–25 July 2027)

Our 20th anniversary alumni weekend will take place in Durham, with the option to join us for a day or the full weekend. We are planning a traditional programme with accommodation in College, alongside a variety of social events and activities. We hope it will be an enjoyable and inclusive weekend for all, please save the date and get in touch if you would like to be involved.
