Visitor Information
We are happy to welcome school groups to our Open Days. In order to capture all the information we need, and so that everyone receives appropriate preparatory information and a ticket ahead of the event, both the teachers and each student in your group must make individual bookings via our website. Once a booking has been made, separate reservations to visit Colleges are not normally required.
The Open Day is not suitable for a very large groups and so we ask that you only bring Year 12 and 13 students thinking of applying to Cambridge. Our Open Day events are very popular and we restrict numbers to ensure all prospective applicants have the opportunity to visit and to protect the health and safety of our visitors. If you would like to arrange a visit for a larger group or an aspiration-raising visit at an alternative time of year, we recommend contacting your Area Link College in the first instance.
The Student Admissions and Access Team are able to advise on coach and minibus parking as well as support with other Open Day related enquiries. You can get in touch with them on caoevents@admin.cam.ac.uk.
If you spent time in care or you are without familial support (estranged), you may have specific needs or concerns when applying to or starting university. We know that it can be important to visit the University before you apply. For further information on the support we can offer, please visit the University webpage.
If you are visiting Cambridge and would like to look around Girton College, please email us at access@girton.cam.ac.uk for further details on a self-guided tour. If you have admissions specific questions, we would recommend you take a look at our subject pages in the first instance. If you have further questions, please contact admissions@girton.cam.ac.uk.
Visitors are welcome to look around the College grounds between 9.00 and 17:00 daily. The College is closed for tours in December, March, and during the May/June exam period. Please note, the Library is open to current members of the College only and to others by appointment or as part of a guided tour. The Archive and Special Collections are open by appointment only.
You can find the Virtual Tour for Girton on the University of Cambridge webpage.
