We love welcoming groups of alumni back to St John’s for reunions. During the summer vacation and subject to availability, reunion groups can enjoy residential visits and the full opportunity to bring memories of student days back to life.

Our reunion weekend was such a memorable time. It was simply lovely to catch up with our peers and also to see what the college is like now. We came away feeling so very blessed to have had our time at St John's, and to have had an opportunity to bring our experiences up to date. We really couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more, and are so grateful for the college's generous hospitality and warm welcome.

So, if the windy corridors and hazy memories of student days are calling you back to St John’s, get in touch with us at johns.alumni@durham.ac.uk to set the wheels in motion for your reunion. We’ll see you soon.
Whether Durham is the destination or a stop-off on your journey, do you really need an excuse to come back and visit John’s? We’d love to see you!
Non-residential visits to St John’s during term time are the perfect opportunity to see student life in full swing. You would be very welcome to drop by – it's best if we know to expect you so we can arrange a tour of College with staff or student representatives, and brunch or a cuppa on us!
To arrange this, email johns.alumni@durham.ac.uk to tell us your names, year group and when you’d like to visit.
