Guidance on how to book tickets for your Graduation Reception
Updated on 5 October 2026
Your Graduation Reception will take place on the day of your graduation in the Bonar Hall as follows:
- Thursday, 19 November: 16:00 - 18:30
- Friday, 20 November: 16:00 - 18:30
It will have all the hallmarks of a traditional drinks reception and provides the chance to celebrate in style with your fellow graduates, family and friends. With fizz, a fun photo booth and live entertainment, it's the perfect way to finish a fantastic day!
The tickets will provide entry to the event, live entertainment, sweet treats, and two complimentary glasses of prosecco, or a non-alcoholic alternative per person.
Graduate tickets are free of charge (one per graduate) but please remember to book yours if you wish to come along.
Guest tickets can be purchased for £12.00 each. Under 12s are free and do not require a ticket. You can book up to 6 reception tickets.
Please make sure you collect your physical Reception Ticket from the Marryat Hall when collecting your ceremony tickets.
Please book early to secure your tickets as they are allocated on a first come, first served basis and they are likely to sell out!
