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. Please follow the link here to view the programme and talks on offer.

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

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.
