Garden Party

1st June 2023

Norwich, 12th August 2023

Following the success of last year’s event kindly hosted by our President at his house in Stamford last year, the Burgon Society Garden Party returns to our calendars. This year it will be held in the grounds and Hall of the historic Octagon Chapel (1756) in the Colgate area of Norwich (https://octagonchapelnorwich.org.uk/). Garden parties are always scarlet occasions and members, and their guests are encouraged to turn up in their finest and most festal academical dress. There will also be amusing activities around academic dress. If you have interesting, unusual, or unidentifiable(!) academic dress, do bring it along.

The garden party will be from 12 noon to 4 pm on Saturday 12th August. Tickets are £23 per person for Members, £25 for guests (who are most welcome) and £12.50 for Student Members to include lunch and refreshments. Bookings can be made via the Eventbrite link https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/burgon-society-summer-garden-party-tickets-664700395777

We look forward to seeing you at what promises to be a fun-filled and festal event.
