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 snow cones, 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. This event is open to alumni of Somerville only. This is our most popular event of the year and, due to capacity and insurance requirements, we have to limit attendance to a maximum of five tickets per alumnus (e.g. two adults and up to three children).

Tickets have sold out. To be placed on the waiting list please contact alumnievents@some.ox.ac.uk

Thanks to the sponsorship of a few generous alumni who want to help the College keep this event as accessible as possible, the event is free to attend. However, donations to the Somerville Fund – supporting bursaries and hardship grants – are warmly encouraged. To make a donation please follow the link here. There will also be an opportunity to purchase College merchandise, as well as raffle tickets with the chance to win fun prizes such as a Somerville hamper.

Please note that food served at this event may contain allergens and is prepared in environments where allergens are present. Please check before consumption.
