We’ll also hear from the Master, Mary Hockaday, about the evolving history of our College, and where the next 675 years might lead us.

675 Online Auction
Five Lots are being offered with a range of exciting experiences and items associated with Trinity Hall and its community. They include a unique opportunity for a group of five people to join acclaimed contemporary artist, potter and author Edmund de Waal (1983) in his South London studio for a personal guided tour. This Lot has a reserve amount of £2,000.
Proceeds from the Auction will match fund a Masters studentship, as part of the 675 Anniversary Campaign. Access the 675 Online Auction webpage to find out more about all the Lots, and how to place your bid. Winning bidders will be contacted by email and also announced at the College’s 675th Birthday Party.
Guest list
The guest list is now available to view via the link at the top of the page. Please note that only Trinity Hall members, who have given consent to be included, will appear on the list.
Dress code
We would love it if guests could wear something Trinity Hall related, either a boat club blazer, a tie, scarf or anything black and white. It is a birthday party, so party outfits are also welcome, and for those coming straight from the office, smart/business attire is also fine.
