News: Durham Reunion 2023

The annual Durham Reunion will take place on the weekend of 14th to 16th April 2023 at Grey College. The Grand Reunion Dinner will be held on Saturday 15th September.

A message from the Acting Master, Peter Swift:

I hope that you and all of our alumni are well.

As indicated in the Christmas message, we will be hosting the Durham Reunion over the Easter Vacation.

Firstly, apologies in the delay in being able to confirm the details of this due to the ongoing refurbishment, which has suffered a number of delays in its final completion and handover. We are now in the position that we are able to confirm and advertise this, and to take bookings.

The Durham Reunion for 2023 will take place over the weekend of 14th – 16th April. Standard Accommodation (Bed and Breakfast) is available on the Friday and Saturday nights, and there will be a formal dinner at 7pm on the Saturday evening.

Bed and Breakfast accommodation is available in Standard rooms (non en-suite) in the Oswald block and cost £35 per night (£55 for a twin with limited availability) whilst the dinner is £40 per person. The menu for the dinner is:
