Old Stoic Day

Saturday 20 September, 10:30am

About the event

Stowe

All Old Stoics and Staff are invited to return to Stowe for Old Stoic Day, our annual  opportunity to gather with friends from years gone by and explore old haunts within the  School, including Boarding and Day Houses, classrooms and, of course, Chapel.

Old Stoics celebrating a significant anniversary year will be invited to gather with their year group for the day, but all Old Stoics are welcome to attend with their families. An informal lunch will be served in the State Rooms and afternoon activities will include tours of the Mansion and Landscape Garden and watching sports matches. We will be remembering a particularly eminent Old Stoic this year, as John ‘Fingers’ Fingleton’s Memorial Service will be held in Stowe Chapel during the morning. For more details, click here.

We hold a number of reunions on this day, including 25th, 30th, 40th, 50th and 60th anniversaries and normally welcome around 250 Old Stoics and guests for the occasion. Those celebrating an anniversary will receive an invitation to attend.

Old Stoic Authors are invited to bring their books to display and promote in the Marble Hall during the Drinks Reception.

To book tickets, please click on the button above or telephone the OS Office on 01280 818349. Guests are welcome to attend.
