Join us for a relaxed day in College as we continue to celebrate our 450th Anniversary. With activities for the little ones, talks on science and the natural world with our fantastic Fellows, picnics on Second Quad, a rowing taster session and a visit to the world-renowned Story Museum, there's plenty to do! On the other hand, if sitting on the grass with a cold drink is your idea of a good afternoon, there's time for that as well. All alumni, students and College staff are welcome to attend, along with their families.

Precise timings for all activities will be confirmed nearer the event
Morning: arrival from 10AM, followed by short family-friendly talks from College Fellows on science and the natural world. There will be separate activities planned during this time for very young children.
Lunch: bring your own picnic, or preorder a hamper from College (details of how to preorder these will be sent after registration)
Afternoon: Attendees can choose either to take part in the rowing taster or to the visit to the Story Museum. Attendees can also decide to remain at College during this time, if they wish. The day will end at 5PM.
Please note:
