At Regent's, we have Formal Hall on Tuesday and Friday evenings. This three-course, served meal is a warm occasion when many of the College community come together. Students and staff wear gowns and dress more formally, and students may bring their own wine to the tables. Formal Hall must be booked in advance through the meal booking system.
