Virtual Castle Reunion 2021

 

Terms & Conditions

Read our events terms and conditions.
You are warmly invited to join us at our virtual College reunion, organised in partnership with Durham Castle Society.

At a time when we perhaps spent a little more time outside than usual, we thought we'd give this event a little bit of a garden spin. So feel free to gather your old friends and dial in from your gardens, or simply wear something summery! 

We've planned a number of fun events, so whether you would like to learn a little bit about our plans for the future, try something new with your family at our Alice in Wonderland Tea Party or simply grab a pint and try your luck at our evening quiz - we hope there will be something for everyone to try.

As you will have noticed, due to the changeable nature of the pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to hold our reunion online once more. We hope it will not stop us from having a fabulous time and we can't wait to see you and your friends there!

Book below!

What fruit adorns the Black Staircase? And which Bishop managed to outmanouvre the Tudors? If you think you know the answers why not join us for the Castle quiz!
