Open Days, Events and Visits

Upcoming events

The College is always open as part of the University-wide Open Days in July and September. These Open Days are aimed at prospective applicants from Year 12 (or equivalent) and mature applicants (aged 21 or over), together with their parents or supporters, to help them learn more about the University, its colleges, and its departments.

We also host two annual open days at Trinity Hall – one for Sciences, and one for Arts & Humanities – during which attendees have the chance to experience sample lectures, ask questions to current undergraduate students, and meet the Directors of Studies in their subject of interest. The 2025 Subject Open Days will take place on the 24th and 25th February.

Prospective applicants are always welcome to visit us at Trinity Hall. For more information about visiting, see below. For more information about events offered at other colleges and across the wider university, please visit the University events listing page.

Attendance at our events is not a requirement to apply to Trinity Hall. Those who apply without having attended one of these events are not at a disadvantage.

University Open Days, 10 and 11 July

The University runs two Open Days in July each year, where prospective applicants and their parents or supporters can visit the colleges and departments. Due to their popularity, advance booking is required.

The 2025 July Open Days will take place on Thursday 10 July and Friday 11 July, with booking opening at the end of April.

There is also a September Open Day run by the University, although this year’s date has yet to be confirmed.
