Highgate offers a packed programme of events and activities, many of which are open to the public as well as our School community.
‘Night at the Museum’ is a series of talks (one per term) by external speakers and Highgate teachers on a wide range of subjects. It replaces the successful ‘Mondays at the Mills’ programme that ran for four years from September 2016.
Talks are normally held in the School Museum/Tabernacle starting at 7pm, with refreshments, including wine, available from 6.30pm and afterwards.
Tickets for ‘N@M’ events can be booked on this page. If you have any questions, please contact the Development Office, by emailing development@highgateschool.org.uk
