When was the last time you attended a student dinner? Now you have the chance to experience a fine dining event with the student union, vintage 2023. Led by toastmasters and marshals, a delightful evening awaits with a three-course dinner, entertainment and subsequent bar and dancing. We are seated together with alumni of similar year groups, and hopefully many old friends will be reunited, as well as new acquaintances made throughout the evening.

Activities between the afternoon programme and the dinner

Between the afternoon programme and the dinner, there will be opportunities to have a look at the School, talk to the Deans, meet the student union and the alumni association HHGA, or visit the library's exhibition on "fake news".
