Events for alumni

We would be delighted if Members who matriculated in and before 1975, and their guests would save the date for the Foundation Lunch taking place in College on Saturday, 21 March.

The charge to attend the Foundation Lunch is £35.00 per person. This price includes a three-course meal with wine, or non-alcoholic alternative.

This year marks the 60th Anniversary for Members from the class of 1966 and we would be particularly delighted if as many from the year as possible joined us for the Foundation Lunch and used it as an opportunity for an informal class reunion. Alternatively, the 50th Anniversary Reunion Dinner on 19 September is another occasion where we will encourage those from 1966 to use the event to celebrate their own milestone.

Leaving a gift in your Will, which is also known as legacy giving, plays a vital role in the continued success of the College; legacy gifts are one of the most powerful and thoughtful ways in which alumni, friends and supporters can be part of the College’s future. This annual lunch and day programme is held to thank and recognise the College's Legators - those who have included King’s College in their Will.

Invitations to register for the event will be sent in the New Year.

Legacy Giving

Whether you are an existing College Legator or someone who is thinking about leaving a gift in their Will to King's College Cambridge, we would be delighted to hear from you.
