Garden Events

Whatever you’re celebrating, Murray Edwards College has beautiful gardens and lawns that are perfect for enjoying the summer sunshine.

Please note that across July and August, we are unable to take any event bookings. This is due to the summer schools we have in residence. 

Orchard Court

Orchard Court is our largest outdoor space, surrounded by student accommodation of the same name. The court features beautiful wildflower meadows, unique sculptural art, and an expansive area for entertainment.
