The Bristol Alumni Network are excited to announce the annual Alumni Reunion Weekend, running Friday 14 to Saturday 16 August 2026. Join them for a weekend of celebrations to rediscover Bristol and connect with fellow alumni.
The Churchill Hall Association will be celebrating Churchill Hall's 70th anniversary as part of the weekend. The Churchill Hall Association have put together a very special programme of events to celebrate, including a Hall tour, an archives exhibition and a tour of the Botanic Gardens.
As well as these celebrations, the weekend will include tours and activities across Bristol. Some highlights include a private wine tasting at Avery's, a guided visit to Brunel's SS Great Britain and a behind-the-scenes trip to Aerospace Bristol, including the chance to go inside the iconic Concorde.
On the Saturday evening, all alumni and friends are warmly invited to attend the Reunion Dinner, a highlight of the weekend for many. This year's dinner will feature a guest speaker (details to be confirmed) and the Wills Hall bar will be open until midnight for post-dinner reminiscing.
