There was an Open Day on Saturday 19 June, which coincided with the Cathedral Open Day to allow our guests to revisit the Cathedral and other buildings in the Close and relive their memories. 

The weekend 25 to 27 June was a residential conference for all those who have at some stage in their lives been members of the theological staff here.  Grateful thanks to the Trustees of Mrs R P Tindall’s Charitable Trust, who provided the funding for the weekend celebration of theological learning and teaching, and an excellent opportunity for guests to make contact with contemporaries and colleagues.   

All past students were invited to the 10.30am Eucharist on Suday 27 June which was followed by drinks and lunch at Sarum College. 

An exhibition of various College documents and information dating from 1860 held in the Sarum College Library ends 5 July.
