We are delighted to invite you to our annual Regent’s Gaudy!

The evening will kick off at 6pm with a sparkling drinks reception in the Quad, a perfect opportunity to reunite with old friends and catch up on all their news, followed by a delicious three-course meal with wine in Helwys Hall. After dinner, we hope you will join us in the College Bar.

On Sunday morning, you can make the most of your time in Oxford by joining us for Sunday Brunch in Helwys Hall with full-cooked breakfast, pastries, yoghurt, fruit, and plenty of coffee!

Why not check out our Trust in Democracy Panel and Research Fair too? Taking place on Saturday afternoon, before the Gaudy, the panel will be chaired by Principal, Sir Malcolm and feature Regent’s academics and a special guest, Baroness Elizabeth Berridge, discussing the meanings of democracy, and the question of our trust in it, in our modern world. After the discussion, Regent’s students will host an exclusive Research Fair in the Quad.
