We’re also celebrating major anniversaries, with Badock Hall turning 60 and Manor Hall reaching 100. Special events have been planned by both Hall Associations to mark these milestones. By popular demand, we’re promoting the visit to St Nicholas Market and its historic air raid shelter.
The weekend includes social events, starting with a private wine tasting at Avery's historic vaulted cellars on Friday, and a drinks reception in the Botanic Gardens at The Holmes on Saturday.
A highlight of the weekend is the Reunion Dinner on Saturday night, where we’re welcoming Professor Sir Malcolm Evans as our guest speaker. Sir Malcolm, now Principal of Regent’s Park College, Oxford, was formerly a Professor of International Law at the University of Bristol. He has held esteemed roles, including Chair of the United Nations Subcommittee for the Prevention of Torture (2011-2020) and a member of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in England and Wales.
The weekend concludes with an engaging guest lecture by Bruce Hood, Professor of Developmental Psychology in Society at the University of Bristol. He will explore the timely question: "With advances in AI and a rapidly changing job market, what and how should we be teaching our students?"
Why not gather some friends and join us for a weekend of memories, discovery, and celebration? We’d love to see you there!
