Castle Alumni Reunion 2026

Welcome back to Durham Castle for our 77th annual Alumni Reunion will take place the 17-19 July 2026.

Kick-off your weekend on Friday evening with an afternoon tea and a private tour of Lumley Castle, have a say about the Castle Society's future by joining our Annual General Meeting followed by a delicious Formal Reunion Dinner on Saturday, and finish your weekend with a Sunday Lunch in the Great Hall before saying farewell until next time. Please see the weekend’s itinerary below.

Whether you have just graduated or are marking a major milestone anniversary of leaving Castle, we can’t wait to welcome you home. It is sure to be a wonderful chance to reconnect with old friends and make new ones.

This year you are invited to book the individual meals and activities you'd like to take part in first, followed by an option to select acommodation in College. Please note that if you are staying with us, a full english breakfast is included in the price of your room (so there is no need to book it separately).

Alumni are very welcome to bring guests.
