Summer Term 2025

Hog Roast 

The Hog Roast for the boys is one of the most wildly anticipated and popular events in the school calendar. The sun miraculously always appears to shine and there is lots of fun for the children including but not limited to, Land Zorbs, Laser Quest and the Bungee Run as well as Popcorn, ice creams and candy floss. Every member of the family is included, there is even a Papplewick Dog Show to enable the family pooch to sashay around the show ring. For the adults we have afternoon tea, the hamper raffle, and a couple of cricket matches to watch including the Year 4 Mums versus their sons!
There is a sumptuous barbecue lunch with the eponymous Hog, burgers, vegan sausages and delicious salads. Gates open at 12 noon and things start to close around 4pm.

Summer Ball 

The hottest ticket in town is the Papplewick Summer Ball, a black-tie event allowing everyone to dress up and celebrate the end of the school year with a flourish. The evening kicks off with a Prosecco and canapés on the Bursar's Lawn followed by a three course meal and lots of dancing. The marquee opens at 7.00pm and carriages are at midnight.
