It was such a pleasure to welcome Somervillians of all ages and their families back to Somerville for the 2023 edition of our Family Day.

Under blazing September skies, guests enjoyed masterclasses from our academics on topics ranging from Old English riddles to insoluble mathematical puzzles to plankton. There was also a cornucopia of activities for children and young people of all ages, including chocolate making, tug of war, water balloon fights, climbing walls, an inflatable helter skelter, live folk music, and more. In fact, there’s almost too much to mention here – so we’ll let the gallery and film below do the talking! We hope you enjoy these snapshots of an event that brought us together as a community and reminded us what makes Somerville so special to us all.
