This year, as part of Hurst’s 175th Bursary Appeal, there will be a small charge to attend this event.

The 175th Bursary Appeal aims to provide one full five-year bursary for a day pupil entering Hurst in Year 9 in September 2025, with a goal to raise £175,000. This campaign heralds the start of a new approach to the Foundation at Hurst, where we are looking to develop a culture of philanthropy that will enable children who would be otherwise unable to access a Hurst education the opportunity to do so.

Please note, when purchasing more than one ticket, the first screen asks for information about you, and the subsequent screens for information about your guest(s)

As with all our events, we will be taking photos at this Foundation event. These images will be used by Hurstpierpoint College to share news about the Foundation, and to publicise our future events. Images may be used in press releases, social media, printed publicity, and published on the College’s website. They will be stored securely, and we will delete them after they are no longer needed for publicity purposes. We may also share photos with other OJs for their personal use. If you would prefer for you or your child not to be photographed, please email us at hurstfoundation@hppc.co.uk
