King's College

We look forward to welcoming King's Entrepreneurs back to King's.

Arrival to King’s

Entrance to the College will be possible through the front gate on King’s Parade. When you arrive, ring the bell and a member of College staff will come and greet you. Please make your way to the Provost’s Lodge, which is accessed via Webb’s Court. The reception will start at 6.30pm.

On arrival to King’s you may be asked to present your King’s Member ID card. If you need a replacement King’s Member ID card, you can request one by emailing enterprise@kings.cam.ac.uk .

Cloakroom

There is a cloakroom inside of the Provost’s Lodge. Guests are advised to keep any valuables with them at all times. Please ensure you collect your coat when you leave the Provost’s Lodge as the space will not be accessible after the dinner.

Photographs

As at all King's events, we sometimes choose to take photographs of the event and of the guests at it. King's may decide to reproduce the photographs following the event for inclusion on the website or on Facebook. The College may also include images in the King's Parade magazine or e-news. Please let us know in advance of the event if you would prefer not to be photographed.

Departure from King’s College

Once the reception concludes, the entrepreneurial group will depart from King’s College through the Front Gate, walking down Trinity Street to St John’s College, where the dinner will be held. We estimate the walk to take 5 – 10 minutes.

Arrival to St John's College

Please arrive to St John’s for dinner commencing at 7.45pm via the Forecourt Lodge, situated off Bridge Street. There may be a few cobbles to negotiate, but it is accessible. Once inside, please make your way to the Hall, where dinner will be served. The St John’s Porters will be on hand, should you need assistance.

We're delighted to announce that The King’s Campaign has reached its £100 million goal! 💜The Campaign was launched in 2018 with the aim of allowing the College to attract and enable more of the best students regardless of economic or social background, deliver exceptional teaching and world-class research, and preserve and enhance its historic buildings. Thanks to the generosity of more than 6,500 King’s alumni, friends and supporters a total of £102 million has now been reached, in the College’s most ambitious fundraising effort in its recent history. Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing more about the people and projects who have benefited from the incredible generosity of our donors.

Looking back a week on from a sunny graduation. 🎓 Last Friday, 35 graduands celebrated the end of their graduate studies. Among them were Rebecca (left, now Senior Tutor at @trinitycollegeox) and Katherine (right), both 'Class of 2001', who decided to attend this graduation ceremony together as they had both missed the chance to collect their certificates over 20 years ago! Congratulations to the new members of our alumni community!
 
A new exhibition curated by King's Research Fellow Dr Georgia Nasseh opens in London today. 'Glimpses of the Now', which features works by seven artists from Africa and Latin America that highlight the role of collage-making in the Global South, draws upon Georgia's residency at the @universityofpretoria's @javett_up Art Centre. 📍The exhibition takes place between 28–31 May at @fourcornerse2 (121 Roman Road, London E2 0QN). 🎟️Head to external link to secure your free tickets.
 
HUGE congrats to our AMAZING @cambridgeuniversity Executive #MBA students graduating today 🥳 🎉 🥳 , especially the 19 from @kings.college! This is the largest cohort of King’s #EMBAs ever graduating, and they are the most wonderful people!!! 🎓 It has been a privilege to be a small part of your journey, welcome to the @cambridgejudge and King’s alumni family ❤️ A fun fact: this is probably a record in the University of Cambridge history in terms of the time between the matriculation and graduation photo for a cohort (10 weeks between the two dates!). @cambridgeemba @thekingselab
 
With exam term well under way, its important to prioritise well being and reach out when you need help. This Bank Holiday weekend, make sure to take a break, get outdoors, and perhaps treat yourself to a scoop of King's College lavender gelato from Jack's Gelato. 🍦 #TakeABreak #ReachOut #Gelato @gelatojack
 
If you've read the latest edition of @cambridgeuniversity's CAM magazine you'll know all about two of room U2's residents, so we were delighted when alumnus Matthew Lee (KC 1988) got in touch to share his own memories. "U2, Bodley's Court was my room too! Specifically my third year as an undergraduate (1990-1991) and well I remember that bitter winter when the River Cam froze. That's me in the photo - brushing my teeth as I recall - taken by my Queens' girlfriend - and now wife! I was amused to see that the curtains, desk and general décor look not to have changed one jot; albeit the former seem to have faded a little!" Do you have any memories of your King's student room? 📷: 1: Matthew in U2, 1990-1991 2-3: Phil Wang and current U2 Bodley's resident George for CAM, 2025. 4: Zadie Smith (KC 1994) and student Romeo in Bodley's Court Room V6 for CAM, 2024, © Megan Taylor. #CambridgeAlumni #MRYR #MyRoomYourRoom #StudentMemories

The @TrinCollCam Musical Theatre Programme is a brand-new scheme which offers outstanding vocalists from across @cambridgeuniversity the chance to work over the academic year with internationally-recognised voice teacher @CameronORichardson. 17 students were chosen for the pilot programme from a large number of applications and they have had coaching sessions over the year. The concert on 8 May was the culmination of that work and an opportunity to showcase the musical theatre talent in the University. Part of this first cohort is King’s MPhil student @kaetlyn_liddy (Social Anthropology) who told us as she crossed the Front Court on her way to this very special concert: “I’ll be singing a song called ‘I Wish It So’ from the musical Juno. I’ve learned so much from the Trinity Musical Theatre Programme, particularly from my individual lessons with Cameron Richardson-Eames. Making progress as a singer can sometimes be very gradual or subtle, but I have learned so quickly and effectively in my time with Cameron. Pursuing a career in musical theatre is something I have always been interested in, but I’ve historically found it difficult to balance my academic and artistic goals. This programme has not only helped me develop my technique and artistry as a singer, but reminded me how much I love performing and musical theatre as a creative medium. I find music to be such a nice escape from my academic work, especially as a master’s student, and it only enhances my ability to thrive in that sphere of my life as well. I feel lucky to have been able to do both at a high level this term. It’s not a very common opportunity for most graduate students to continue a creative passion once academic work begins to get more consuming, so I’m very grateful to have been in the first cohort of this wonderful programme.”
  
“My mum had a flyer for IntoUniversity and I looked at it and thought “I want to go there”. I wanted to come because I imagined a different space from home where I could focus even more.” In March, we launched our new Middlesbrough centre in partnership with @kings.college. We’re pleased to now share a video with highlights from the launch event, featuring: 🎙️ Interviews with Sarah, our Centre Leader, and Myfanwy Hill, Senior Tutor at King’s 🎤 Inspiring moments from the speeches 🌟 A look back at a truly special day! 🎥 Rachel Close #Middlesbrough #IntoUniversity #KingsCollegeCambridge #IUCommunities #IUPartnerships #IUImpact @kings_outreach
 
Last week we were joined by the wonderful Sandi Toksvig OBE for our annual Turing Lecture. In her informative talk, Sandi covered everything from gender bias, experimenting with AI and concluded with a toast to Alan Turing himself.💻🥃 Thank you to everyone who made this year's event possible. Keep your 👀peeled for the recording of Sandi's lecture, available on our YouTube page soon. #SandiToksvig #AI #AlanTuring #MappaMundi @camsociology @christscollegecambridge @girtoncollege
 
An autograph manuscript of Jane Austen’s 'Sanditon' has gone on loan to Harewood House in Yorkshire as part of their new exhibition ‘Austen and Turner: A Country House Encounter’. The manuscript was gifted to King’s in 1930 by Jane’s great-great niece Mary Isabella Lefroy, who was the sister-in-law of King's Provost Augustus Austen Leigh (1840-1905). 👉 Learn more about the exhibition and King's surprising Austen connection: external link 📷taken by College Librarian James on his visit to Harewood House #JaneAusten #Sanditon #PrideAndPrejudice #Archives
