Upcoming events

College Open Day – 12th September

The University runs a specific College-focused Open Day each September to help students discover what Cambridge is really like and support them in deciding which college to apply to or whether to make an open application.

Bookings for the September Open Day are now open. Please click here to be directed to the University booking page.

Trinity Hall will be running a Cambridge from the Inside: Admissions Q&A from 12-1pm. No booking is required, and this event will be held in the Graham Storey Room.

Year 7 and 8 School visits

Following the success of the pilot year in 2024/25, Trinity Hall will be offering a limited number of trips for Year 7/8 cohorts in 2025/26!

The day can run from 9:30-4:30 or be shorter depending on your travel time. We recommend schools do not apply if travel time would mean spending less than 4 hours with us in total.

The day will involve a tour of Trinity Hall, an introductory session on ‘What is a University’, a critical thinking session and a lunch break. Depending on how long you can stay, we also offer a second college tour, faculty tour and subject specific taster sessions. The trip is free. We are able in some cases to support with the cost of coaches, subject to specific criteria. Students should bring a packed lunch with them.

Priority will be given to schools with a high percentage of FSM students and from lower decile IMD areas. Use the button below to enquire about arranging a visit.

In-Person Visits to Trinity Hall

Visiting Trinity Hall

Trinity Hall is open to prospective applicants and other visitors, even beyond official Open Days. Please check in at the Porters’ Lodge, and you will be free to walk around the grounds. Further information can be found on our Contact or Visit Us page.

If you would like to arrange a guided tour please email the Access and Recruitment Officer at outreach@trinhall.cam.ac.uk

Visitors with Disabilities

Please let us know in advance if there is anything we can do to make your visit accessible by emailing the Access and Recruitment Officer.

Event Travel Funds

The Open Day Travel Fund assists young people who are in care and care leavers with travel to open days organised by the University of Cambridge. Further information is available on the University website.

Trinity Hall also offers travel funding to our outreach events for those who meet certain widening participation criteria, for travel by standard-class train. To check your eligibility for funding for a specific event, please email the Access and Recruitment Officer.

Occasionally, we may have a few spare rooms available on Open Days for those visiting the university who would benefit from travelling and staying overnight. Again, please email the Access and Recruitment Officer to discuss your situation. Priority will be given to those with Widening Participation flags and those who have to travel a considerable distance domestically to attend.
