Boar's Head Gaudy 2026

Date: 19 December 2026
Time: 3.30 until 1.30am
Location: The Queen's College Oxford

Old Members from the matriculation years 1990 and 1991 are invited to celebrate the traditional Boar's Head Gaudy this year.

The programme will begin with tea and Christmas cake in the Shulman Auditorium, followed by a recital of seasonal music in Chapel with College Choir. The Gaudy is combined with the Boar’s Head Ceremony which takes place before dinner. Guests are asked to assemble in Hall by 6.25pm when the Boar’s Head will make its ceremonial entrance. After the Ceremony, champagne will be served in the Upper Library, followed by dinner at 7.15pm. Holy Communion will be celebrated in Chapel on Sunday morning.

The Gaudy dinner is free of charge. B&B is available for Saturday 19 December at £60pp.

Due to space restrictions in Hall, this is an Old Member only event (from matriculation years 1990 and 1991), so with regret, we are not able to host guests at this occasion.
