We would like to invite you, your family and friends to help us celebrate 400 years of Dulwich College heritage at our annual Founder’s Day on Saturday 25 May from 11am to 4pm (doors open at 10.30am).
Zero Waste Theme

Food and Drink – no single-use plastic or paper
Our school catering company, Quadra, are loaning the cafeteria serving trays and utensils to our food vendors for the day.
