Royal Connections

During Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in May, a full programme of events was planned by Marlborough Town Council to mark this momentous occasion. The College was keen to play a part in the local celebrations.

The Platinum Jubilee Central Weekend coincided with half-term and this enabled the College to offer access to the campus on the morning of Saturday 4th June for a specially created self-directed walking tour of the main areas of College that covered the Royal connections of our campus. These connections, some factual and some perhaps not, included the Court of King Arthur, bad King John and the favourite wife of Henry VIII. The tour was delivered via a map with an accompanying written narrative, both contained within a souvenir booklet. In total, around 300 people took the tour, and the feedback was universally positive. To read the booklet, scan the QR code.
