All Saints’ Gaudy or All Souls’ Gaudy?
College Archivist Dr Amy Ebrey explains why one of the College's oldest traditions has a different name this year.
Tonight, we celebrate the All Souls’ Gaudy, a College feast with roots stretching back to our foundation in the fourteenth century.
Dr Ebrey explains: “Most years we celebrate the All Saints’ Gaudy, since it falls on or near the Christian feast of All Saints’ Day on 1 November. But if the first Monday of November happens to fall on All Souls’ Day, the 2 November, the feast is known as the All Souls’ Gaudy instead.”
The Gaudy is an opportunity to celebrate academic achievement, bringing together undergraduates awarded Scholarships and Exhibitions for their academic performance, alongside first-year postgraduates holding College-funded scholarships.
While All Saints’ Day commemorates those of the Christian faith who have gone before us, All Souls’ Day is a time for Christians to remember those they have known personally who have died.
We hope everyone attending enjoys this centuries-old tradition and the celebration of the achievements of today's students!

“Be the representation that so many students will appreciate.”
Back in summer, we were delighted to welcome students taking part in UNIQ, Oxford’s free access programme for UK state school students, giving them a taste of university life at Queen’s.
Our own students played an important role in making them feel at home, sharing their experiences and answering questions about life at Oxford.
We caught up with Queen’s student Mehreen to hear why getting involved in outreach means so much to her and why she encourages others to get involved.
