Entertainment

We are pleased to present another stimulating and eclectic concert series on Tuesday and Friday evenings of each week. These events are ticket only, so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.

In addition, the Summer School presents our renowned daily lectures and recitals that have become a popular feature of the entertainment scene. Tickets are not required for these events but Summer School customers will be required to show their identity card on entry. These will be provided by your course tutor at the start of the week. These high quality events are open to the public and there will be a small charge on the door for visitors who are not signed up for courses in that week. Details of these events will be published nearer the time.

Whilst an early evening country walk may be ideal for those who have the energy, there is also a wide choice of entertainment on offer which may include; bridge evenings, yoga tasters, excursions, downland walks, ceilidh, a quiz night, live music or just relaxation in the quieter corners of the College. Some of these additional evening classes available throughout the week must be booked through the Summer School office. Please note these are on a first come first served basis.

The Summer School bar is situated in the Marquee where you can take refreshments at lunchtime and during the evening. The venue is an ideal place to meet friends and discuss your day over a glass of wine, while enjoying the wide variety of entertainments on offer each day.

The College facilities are available to all members of Summer School when not being used for courses. Superb sporting facilities include; an indoor swimming pool, tennis, squash, volleyball and fives courts, an athletics track, and much more.
