The Trinity Hall Hesperides Literary and Arts Society are delighted to announce that their Annual Dinner will take place on Saturday 14 March 2026. The dinner is open to old Hesperideans; all alumni who studied English or History of Art; or those with a special interest in the arts, and you are invited to bring a guest.
It will provide a wonderful opportunity for alumni to meet with current students, and engage with the flourishing arts scene in College. Prior to the dinner we will be joined by a guest speaker (to be announced in due course) for a talk and Q&A.
