High Table Dining Privileges for MAs and Higher Degree Holders

MAs of the College, and those holding a higher degree, are invited to dine at High Table. These privileges allow for one dinner at a Tuesday or Thursday High Table per full term, provided you are not currently a student. There are two ways to participate:

1. MA Dining Nights: MA dining is best arranged on designated MA dining nights, which occur each term. Full details of these nights can be found here. These events are free for alumni, and you may bring a guest, for whom a charge will apply. Please note that numbers are limited, so it is advised to book early and check availability before making any travel arrangements.
2. Tuesday or Thursday High Table (at Formal Hall): You may also dine at a High Table on any Tuesday or Thursday evening, though only a maximum of two MAs using their dining privileges are permitted on the same night. You cannot bring a guest to these High Table dinners, and the dinner will not proceed if there are insufficient Fellows in attendance. Further information can be found below.
