Important Information
There is no dress code for this event but we recommend bringing appropriate clothing for the weather and warm clothes even in good conditions. Please do bring an umbrella in inclement weather.
Christ Church comprises buildings from several centuries, built in different styles and therefore not constructed in accordance with contemporary building norms. Of course buildings are maintained to a good standard but please note that a level walking surface may not be encountered everywhere. Please take care at all times and wear appropriate footwear.
