St Hugh’s alumnae who matriculated in 1953 or earlier, 1963 and 1973 are warmly invited back to College on Sunday 24 September 2023 for a special Jubilee Lunch to celebrate 50, 60 and 70+ years since they started at St Hugh’s.
Our celebrations will open with an optional tour of the beautiful gardens of St Hugh’s at 11am (we may run an additional tour at 10.30am if lots of alumnae would like to join). This will be followed by a drinks reception and photographs from 11.30am, and the Jubilee Lunch. We anticipate that the event will come to a close at around 3pm.
