🫅🎄Queen Charlotte introduced the Christmas tree to England after she missed the tradition from her German home. You can give her portrait a nod in thanks next time you're in Hall.
Queen Charlotte (1744-1818), Queen Consort to George III, was a Patroness of Queen's and a supporter of its fabric and future, contributing £1,000 towards repairs to Front Quad after a fire in 1779. ... See MoreSee Less
🐗Step into one of Queen’s quirkiest festive moments…
Each year, just before Christmas, the College gathers in Hall for a tradition that can be traced back to the fourteenth century: the Boar’s Head Ceremony.
Our Choir, directed by Owen Rees and led in this particular performance by bass soloist Ben Watkins, brings the legendary Boar’s Head Carol to life as the procession enters.
The ritual recalls the story of Queen’s student John Copcot, who supposedly survived a charging boar in Shotover Forest by presenting it with the only weapon he had to hand: his copy of Aristotle. The boar, unable to digest Greek philosophy, expired on the spot and the legend became one of our most enduring festive customs.
Filmed live in Hall in December 2022, this recording offers a glimpse of a ceremony that blends myth, music, and centuries of Queen’s history. We hope everyone attending this evening has a wonderful time! 🎶

🎄Christmas Eve viewing sorted: our Provost, Paul Johnson, will be appearing on the University Challenge Christmas Special…representing his alma mater, Keble.
In the spirit of the season, we’re choosing magnanimity. We trust Queen’s members will find it in their hearts to forgive him…especially if he nails the tough questions.
Watch here: ow.ly/lVr450XLjqu
