Event Start Date: 05 September 2026 14:00 - 17:00

We are looking forward to welcoming you and your family back to Somerville on Saturday 5th September for an afternoon of interactive games and workshops! From face painting to chocolate workshops, a climbing wall, and of course plenty of ice cream, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

In the spirit of inspiring the next generation of learners, there will be an opportunity to hear from some of our leading academics, who will deliver interactive sessions tailored especially for our younger guests. These 30-minute “meet the tutor” sessions will run at 3.00pm and 4.00pm. Booking for sessions will be released closer to the time.

Numbers are limited, and tickets will be allocated  on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage early booking.
