Events

Goodricke is extremely proud of its College spirit that can be attributed our members' energy and enthusiasm to participate in a range of activities. Much of College life is organised informally by groups or individuals.

The emphasis in College sport is participatory rather than competitive, although we are proud of our many achievements. Each year trophies are awarded to the best sportsmen and women including the Spirit of Goodricke Cup. In the past ten years Goodricke has won College Sport or been ranked a close second, more than any other College.

Regular and annual events organised at a College level include:

the very popular Midsummer Jazz which is held in the beautiful garden at the Provost’s Lodge on Midsummer’s Day with a live jazz band
croquet on the lawns of Heslington Hall
Christmas Eve Curry Night
the ‘Goodricke Gallop’, a guided walk through the Yorkshire countryside, held three times a year (one per term)
a trip to Alton Towers theme park
