Seeing Christ's as an offer holder | Christs College Cambridge

This page is part of the offer-holders section for students who have been offered an undergraduate place at Christ's College.

We'll show you around the College properly when you arrive as a new student, however if you would like to see/visit the College whilst you are holding an offer, please see the information below.

Ways to see Christ's as an offer holder

1. Self-guided visit to see the grounds

If you are able to get to Cambridge, offer-holders are welcome to walk through the grounds of Christ's on a self-guided visit during our daily opening hours. This will be on your own or with up to two family members or friends. Please read the self-guided visit page for details including the opening times and closure dates. Please be aware that this is not available 24/7 - to avoid disappointment it's important to check the date and opening times on the self-guided visit page.

2. Offer holders Visit Day

If you would like a guided visit, we hold a visit day for offer holders just after offers are sent. This year's details are below.
