☎️☎️ Pembroke’s calling!! ☎️☎️

Our 2025 Telethon has got off to a great start; our students have had lovely conversations with Pembrokians around the globe. Only one week left of our 2025 Telethon, so look out for a call from our students to chat about all things Pembroke! #telethon #givingback

Anyone else holding their breath hoping the Oxford sunshine never ends?! ☀️

Our quads have been looking a little empty though so we're counting down the days until students return.

College is looking pretty in pink (as always). 🎀

Our magnolias are not quite there yet but are almost in full bloom! 🌸

The blossoms in Chapel Quad however are out and ready for spring.☀️

What better way to mark the end of Hilary than with Pembroke's annual musical! 🎶

The audience were all aboard in the Pichette Auditorium for this year's production of Anything Goes - three nautical-themed nights of singing, tap dancing, and sailors! ⚓

Generations of Pembrokians have been bleeding pink on netball courts, football pitches, and on the river; but when did pink become Pembroke’s colour? 🎀

If you’ve heard any stories about how pink came to represent Pembroke, we’d love to hear them! Just send us a message or leave a comment below.
