Visits and Open Days
Visit us in person, or take a tour online.
Churchill College offers a stunning purpose-built campus, set in 50 acres of grounds. If you can’t visit us in person, you can view a student-guided virtual tour or have questions answered in on one our our webinars.
We sometimes open our grounds to the public, providing a chance to show off our sculpture trail as well as our grounds. Follow us on our social channels to stay up to date, or contact [email protected] if you’d like to organise a group tour.
You can view information about our site’s accessibility but please contact us if you have any special requirements.
Informal visits
Prospective postgraduate and undergraduate students are welcome to visit Churchill informally, most days (including weekends), between 09:00 and 17:00.
Note that College is routinely closed to visitors each year from Easter Sunday through to the middle of June, during our “Quiet Period” surrounding exams. There may be ad hoc closures at other times too so, to avoid disappointment, please call our Porters’ Lodge on +44 (0) 1223 336000 before you plan your visit.
The College’s private areas, such as accommodation and the Libraries, are not available to drop-in visitors but you can get a great sense of the College as an environment by looking around its public spaces.
Postgraduate students should contact our Postgraduate Office, and they will be able to help you plan your visit.
Regretfully, we can’t offer individual tours for undergraduates.
If you represent a school or college and want to arrange a group visit then contact our Outreach team. And, if you want to know more about undergraduate admissions, download, our pre-applicant pack.
School visits
Our Outreach Officer works in the Admissions Office, heading up the College’s work in outreach and widening participation. They’re regularly out and about visiting schools and colleges, working in person with students and their supporters. They also run online resources like webinars and Q&As, to demystify university admissions and the Cambridge process in particular.
Churchill’s link areas in England are Sussex, Surrey, and the London boroughs of Merton, Sutton, and Croydon. We are also the link area College for Mid- and South-Wales, and are the proud co-authors of the University’s Applying to Cambridge from Wales webpage.
We especially welcome contact from students, teachers, and supporters at all secondary schools and colleges in these link areas. We’re always open to all inquirers however.
