Drama 50th Anniversary Event, University of Exeter - BOOKING NOW CLOSED

We will operate an open house at our Thornlea site on the Saturday afternoon. Maybe you'd like to connect up with your University peers first - have lunch, hang out somewhere in the city that holds importance to you. Then check in with us at some point, have a glass of fizz, meet others, participate in some facilitated or un-facilitated reminiscence, meet some current students, take a tour of the Department as it is now... Relaxed activities will be happening throughout the afternoon, from 2pm-6pm, so you can put in an appearance whenever you like.

Then, on the Saturday evening, we've booked The Lemon Grove, a.k.a. The Lemmy, a.k.a. The Pit, from 6.30pm till late for more catching up with old friends, opportunities to make new ones, eating and drinking, cabaret, and dancing our way through 50 years of student music, from 1968 to 2018.

On the Sunday morning, we're planning to host a series of parallel, future-facing practical workshops and discussions about the future of Drama before coming back together for a final session that will finish by 2pm.

We really hope you are able to join us and you can understand that, due to the potentially large number of former student and staff attendees, unfortunately we won't be able to accommodate non-Drama alumni (including family members) at the weekend's events.
