Grizedale Graduation

Graduation Celebrations

This year, the Grizedale College graduation celebrations will take place after each ceremony, outside Grizedale College on Friday 18th July 2025. Expect live music, a free glass of fizz (non-alco available), sweet treats and (hopefully) plenty of sunshine for you and your guests. This is free but will be served on a first come, first served basis.
