Summer Eights

30 May 2026

There is plenty for Hertford alumni to get involved with on the final day of Summer Eights on Saturday 30 May.

Brunch in College: From 11am – 1pm brunch will be served in Hall. Alumni and their guests are welcome to attend if they register their place via this link by Wednesday 20 May. Payment for brunch will be taken on the day via card.

Show your support from Hertford College boathouse: Everyone is then invited to Hertford’s boathouse from midday onwards to watch HCBC crews take to the Isis. There will be a bar in the boathouse selling soft and alcoholic drinks, as well as light refreshments, which can be paid for by card. Entry to the boathouse is free but we ask that you kindly register your attendance here by Wednesday 20 May so we can ensure enough refreshments are supplied. Dress code is informal and Hertford colours are encouraged!

Celebration Dinner: Former Boat Club members are then invited to join us to celebrate the end of the Summer Eights week with a black-tie dinner in College. There are 40 places available for Hertford Boat Club alumni. Members are due to receive an invite in due course. If you are a member and do not receive the invite, please contact the Development Office at development.office@hertford.ox.ac.uk
