60s Alumni Reunion Weekend

1960's Alumni Reunion Weekend

We are delighted to welcome you back to Swansea University for this year’s alumni reunion, a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends and revisit the place that holds so many shared memories.

Your weekend begins with a relaxed drinks reception in Singleton Abbey, setting the tone for a nostalgic few days. From there, you’ll have the chance to enjoy a mix of experiences, whether that’s exploring our Singleton or Bay campuses, or taking in the familiar beauty of the Gower Peninsula and Mumbles.

We’ll round things off with a special reunion gala dinner back in Singleton Abbey, the perfect setting to reflect, reminisce and celebrate lasting friendships.

We very much look forward to welcoming you back to Swansea for this fantastic reunion weekend.
