London Drinks
A couple of times a year we host drinks in London. Often these drinks events are open to all alumni however we occasionally organise an event for specific groups of alumni based on subject, graduation year, social societies etc. It is a great informal way to catch up with old friends, to form new ones and to talk to people from lots of different year groups.

Choir Events
Our College Choir is renowned as one of the very best. If your family or friends need convincing, please bring them along to one of their many performances! They sing in chapel services, perform at concerts and often take part in tours to other countries so keep an eye (or an ear!) out for them wherever you are.
Find a full programme of the choir performances on the Clare College Choir website.
