CAT Graduate School 2026 Graduation

We look forward to welcoming you to our next Graduation Ceremony on Saturday 27 June 2026.  

Due to the number of graduates who have completed their studies recently, this year we will be holding two ceremonies.  You will be invited to join us on-site from 2pm and, if you book into CAT’s on-site accommodation, check in before the ceremonies begin. Free tea and coffee will be available on arrival with further drinks and snacks available to purchase in the cafe until 4pm.  

We will then livestream the ceremonies from the Sheppard Theatre at CAT for those joining online and watching from elsewhere on-site.  Breakout rooms will open before and after the ceremony for you and your guests to use.  Following the ceremony, graduates attending on-site, and their 2 free guests, will be welcome to join us for a free vegetarian buffet meal and live entertainment.  Graduands will be sent a more detailed programme for the event close to the day, so keep an eye on emails for this. 

Book your ticket to attend Graduation 

The ticket booking process to attend Graduation on-site or online has now closed.  If you have any questions about booking Graduation please contact event.gse@cat.org.uk as soon as possible. 

Book On-Site Accommodation for Graduation

If you would like to book accommodation on a Bed and Breakfast basis for the evening of Friday 26 or Saturday 27 June 2026 then this can be done via the link below. 

Bedrooms are charged per room for up to two adults, including bed and breakfast, and can be arranged as twin or double (subject to availability).  Please ensure that you note the names of those staying in the room on your booking form, and that you note whether you need a double or twin set-up.  If you are booking rooms for friends and family please make it clear which graduand the booking relates to. 

Please also make it clear at the time of booking if you are requesting an accessible room (subject to availability) and if there are any dietary requirements relating to the booking. 

Places are very limited, and are offered on a first-come-first-served-basis, so we recommend you make any bookings you need as soon as possible as we expect accommodation to sell out fast. 

If you are attending Graduation on-site then you would be very welcome to extend your stay at CAT by booking for further nights after the Graduation event. Further information about availability and booking for this can be found at https://cat.org.uk/groups-learning/venue-hire/bed-breakfast/  

We look forward to seeing you in late June!
