Arts & Events Summer Term 2022
Arts & Events at Haileybury The 2022 Summer Term marks the return of a full events programme to Haileybury. After a difficult period for all, a much-needed tonic will be provided by our full programme of school and public events – and, as ever, there will be something of interest for everyone including the full Haileybury Speech Day experience. Our packed sporting schedule has already resumed (see our website). In addition, there is an array of dramatic, music and art performances and exhibitions, as our pupils reach the end of a very busy year, with plenty of opportunity to showcase their talents. We look forward to welcoming you at Haileybury events in the near future...
All events listed in this publication are open to the public except where otherwise stated. Booking details for all events can be found at haileybury.com/events
