Cripps Hall Association
The Cripps Hall Trust & Association look forward to welcoming you to the Cripps Hall Reunion Weekend 2025. This is your chance to catch up with alumni past and present, visit Cripps Hall and share your stories and experiences with all.
The weekend will include a formal reception and dinner on Saturday evening together with the Trust AGM on Sunday morning. Details are now available below for all the main events with bookings available for accommodation, tours and the main Reunion Dinner in the Cripps Hall Dining Room.
This year the Cripps Hall Trust will be subsidising tickets for all members of the Association with additional discounts for current Cripps Hall Residents and younger members under 30. Tickets must be booked before the end of April 2025.
URGENT NOTE (TRAFFIC DELAYS):
There are extensive roadworks and junction closures currently being carried out around the University of Nottingham Campus. The A52 is permanently closed westbound (leaving the city) from the QMC roundabout to the Priory Roundabout and currently operating as a one way route eastbound along the same section. These works are limiting access to University Park via the North Entrance and so use of the West Entrance is advised.
Additionally, the finals of the Lexus Nottingham Open Tennis Tournament will be taking place on the same weekend as the re-union. This is expected to signifcantly increase traffic in the area, particularly along the A6005 University Bolevard where the Nottingham Tennis Centre is located. Those attending the event are advised to allow signifcant extra time for delays and plan their route in advance to avoid closures.
