Benefactors' Garden Party 13 June 2020

We regret to inform you that we have had to cancel this year’s Benefactors' Garden Party, which had been scheduled for Saturday 13 June 2020.

This is one of a series of unprecedented measures that St Catharine’s is implementing in line with Public Health England and the University with regard to our Students, Staff and Fellows to help delay the spread of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). It is with sincere regret that the College has let students know that they will not be able to return for the remainder of this academic year and we are in the process of closing many of the College facilities.

We have not taken this decision lightly and are truly sorry for any disappointment and inconvenience this cancellation may cause. Please be assured that the Alumni and Development Office will refund any tickets purchased for this event.

We will of course keep you up to date with the fast moving situation. We are grateful for your understanding at this uncertain time.
