The Hertford Festival

3 August 2018 - 5 August 2018

We are delighted to invite you to a very special Hertford Festival which takes place this summer on 3-5 August. It is a weekend which has something for everyone: Hertford alumni will give talks on a range of topics including tech and cryptocurrencies, literature, history, current affairs and entrepreneurship, while children can enjoy fun activities for all ages. With meals in Hall and music in the Chapel, we look forward to welcoming you, your family and friends back to college. Limited accommodation is available in college so book now to avoid disappointment.

Full programme, information about the talks and booking is available on the Festival Website
