Christ Church's Own Events

Celebrate in Tom Quad

22 - 24 June 2012

We have reason to celebrate 2012 and we hope you will join us. It is the Queen’s diamond jubilee year and Her Majesty is the Visitor of Christ Church in a personal capacity (our founder was her predecessor Henry VIII). 1812-2012 makes it the bicentenary of the Battle of Borodino, the inspiration for Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture.
