Open Days, Events and Visits

Upcoming events

Undergraduate Colleges Open Day

The next University-wide Open Day is Friday 11 September 2026, which is the Undergraduate Colleges Open Day. Colleges and support services will be open.

Booking is essential via the Cambridge Open Days website to ensure you receive an Open Day ticket and all the information you need to plan for your visit. Each prospective applicant can book a ticket for up to one guest. Once a booking has been made, separate reservations to visit Colleges and Departments are not normally required.

At Trinity Hall we are offering:

• A Directors of Studies stand where academics from a range of subjects will be on hand to chat to prospective students and answer any questions they might have about the subject or application process. (See timetable below)
• An information stand where current student ambassadors from many of the Tripos subjects are available to chat about their experience at Trinity Hall, alongside members of the admissions team, who can answer questions about the application process.
• A ‘Cambridge from the Inside’ Admissions Q&A with our Director of Admissions, Dr Marcus Tomalin, from 12noon until 1pm.
• Guided tours and self-guided tours.

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.
