Societies and clubs at Wolfson College, Cambridge

Formal Hall is on Tuesday and Friday in Full Term and Tuesday at other times. Diners arrive at 19:15 for drinks and dinner starts at 19:30. Members book and prepay through the Dining Portal. Booking and cancellation close at 12:00 noon the day before, and some dates fill earlier. A waiting list books released places automatically, but only if the member has enough funds in their account. Members may bring up to three non-Wolfson guests, and all guests must be accompanied by their Wolfson host. The minimum age is 18. Places may not be sold, passed on or given away, even to another member. Diners bring the University Card the booking was made on; anyone without a University Card collects a temporary pass from the Porters' Lodge.

The dress code is formal business attire. Jeans, trainers, beach footwear, shorts, hats and caps are refused entry. Gowns are optional for members and for guests who are University members. Outside drinks, electronic devices and photographs are not allowed. The page lists student guests at £31.56 with wine / £21.36 without, with no academic year stated. Groups of ten or more need permission from Conference & Events at least a week ahead. A group may have at most twenty people, there is one group per Formal Hall, and each member may bring up to three guests. Wolfson Formal Halls page (opens in a new tab)

Practical assessment: A visitor needs a Wolfson member to book them before noon the day before and to attend with them. When a dinner is full, the waiting list is the documented fallback.
