Friday Evening For those arriving on Friday night, settle back into one of the school’s boarding houses before joining fellow OMs for a relaxed evening together. BBQ From 5pm, enjoy an informal BBQ, freshly prepared and served by our chefs on the lawn beside the Abbey.
Bar The bar in the Prince’s Room will be open throughout the evening, offering a selection of refreshments. Meanwhile, the King’s Room will provide a comfortable and relaxing space to sit, unwind and catch up with old friends.
Jazz An enjoyable evening of wonderful music and good company and dancing, with something for everyone to enjoy.
Requests can be made to stay in a particular old dormitory or house, but not all areas of the school may be available as we are refurbishing several wings.

Saturday Evening Black Tie Gala Dinner Drinks and canapés will be followed by a Gala Dinner celebrating the friendships, memories and sense of community that generations of Miltonians have helped to create. As part of the evening, we will also be raising funds for the School’s 75th Fund, helping to support the future of our community and the generations of Miltonians still to come. For those OMs who would like to be involved, there will be an opportunity to contribute to the school’s future. There is no expectation to give, simply an invitation to be part of what comes next. And then, of course, the evening will continue with music, dancing and plenty of time to celebrate together.
RESERVE YOUR TABLE OF TEN We will be seated at tables of 10 in the Abbot’s Hall. You may request to sit with OMs of your vintage or to mix with other generations. There is also the possibility to host your own tables of friends. Please book as quickly as possible as the Abbot’s Hall has a limited capacity.
Please email oldmiltonians@miltonabbey.co.uk to reserve your table of ten.
