EVENTS

Every May we host a Traditional Cambridge May Ball, and every December we host a Christmas Ball. Both events are organised by our students, working in conjunction with our pastoral team. Balls provide a great opportunity to celebrate your time at Abbey College Cambridge before exams and everyone goes home for summer or moves on to university.

At the start of each year we also host a leavers’ ceremony to say farewell to our graduating class.
We also hold a yearly Charity Fair. In 2019 our students raised £4,000 for local charity EACH (East Anglian Children’s Hospices). The Charity Fair includes games and entertainment for all staff and students.
