Coughton Court Alumni Day
Our second annual Alumni and Honorary Research Fellow day will take place at Coughton Court on Saturday 20th June 2026. Coughton Court is an imposing Tudor house set in beautiful gardens with a collection of Catholic treasures, home of the Throckmortons for over 600 years.
We are delighted that Coughton Court's Magnus and Imogen Throckmorton are working with us on the Shakespeare's Roses exhibition this year and even more pleased that they are happy to host an alumni day with private tours of the house and garden, afternoon tea, and a talk by our very own Professor Elizabeth Goldring. The day rate for this experience is £50 per person, and you are welcome to bring a guest (@ £50 per guest). The deadline for booking is extended to Friday 5th June, with payment due the following week.
