VAT

In some circumstances, bookings may fit the criteria for VAT exemption. The VAT exemption form must be completed alongside your booking form. If you believe your event to be VAT exempt but you are unsure, VAT enquiries can be made via the Government website. This page may also help VAT exemption and partial exemption. VAT is always applicable on alcohol.

Terms and conditions

The T&Cs applicable to your booking are available on the relevant pages (via log in).

During vacations, the College has charged the Catering and Events team to maximise the commercial use of the facilities so as to maximise the contribution to income. Working around Admissions and Development department activities and mindful of the academic purpose of the College, the teams aim to service as many conferences, summer schools and events as we can. This often means casual access to facilities usually available in term time is limited.
