Merchant Adventurers’ Hall Dinner/York Minster Carol Service 8th December 2025

As a perfect culmination to a year full of celebratory events Old Sedberghians, parents and friends of the School are warmly invited to dinner at Merchant Adventurer’s Hall and attend the Carol Service at the York Minster on Monday 8th December 2025.

The dinner will be held at one of the finest medieval guildhalls in the world. Redoubtable tales, fascinating architecture and intriguing, rare artefacts, all under a stunning 14th Century oak roof. Delve into York’s entrepreneurial past, present and future following stories of the “mystery of mercers” – business pioneers who made it happen: from the medieval wool trade, via the railways, chocolate and two universities to the 21st century Science City.

We will start at 4.30pm with a drinks reception, followed by a 2-course dinner. We will then head to York Minster for an amazing Carol Service, returning to the Hall after the service for festive drinks and mince pies.

Tickets cost £60 per person.

Partners are very welcome.
