Please note that the information below is regarding July 2025 graduation. 

We are delighted to announce the catering available at our July 2025 graduation ceremonies! 

After your graduation ceremony, everyone with a valid ticket is invited to an informal celebration as part of your graduation. Located in the Graduation Hospitality Zone at our High Wycombe Campus, you will find refreshments to enjoy whilst you celebrate your success. 

Entry to the Graduation Hospitality Zone is included with all tickets but refreshments are only included with the student and paid guest tickets (so children under 18 months will not receive refreshment tokens). You must have a ticket to gain entry and you cannot purchase a ticket just for this area. 

The celebration is optional and lasts up to one and a half hours, but you don’t have to stay for the full duration. As our High Wycombe Campus is based in the Town Centre, there are venues close by you could chose to continue your celebrations at once the Graduation Hospitality Zone has closed, if that was of interest. 

Please be assured that we cater for a wide range of dietary requirements, with full allergen information being available alongside the menus on the day.

We hope you decide to join us to celebrate all you have achieved!

We are excited to share with you an overview of the food expected to be available during your celebration, which will take place in the Graduation Hospitality Zone following your ceremony. 

Gather and Gather, our onsite caterer, are managing catering for our graduation ceremonies. They have provided us with the expected menu, including dietary information. Please note the menu is subject to change. 

Please be assured that we cater for a wide range of dietary requirements, with full allergen information being available alongside the menus on the day.

Following your graduation ceremony, you are invited to join us in the Graduation Hospitality Zone for refreshments. The celebration is optional and lasts approximately two hours, but you don’t have to stay for the full duration.  

All graduating student tickets and the paid for guest tickets (so not the guest lap seat tickets) will include refreshment tokens. Please keep these tokens safe as you will need to redeem them for refreshments during the celebration. Lost tokens cannot be replaced.  

There will be no additional tickets to purchase just for the Graduation Hospitality Zone.
