Graduation 2026
We look forward to welcoming Graduates and their families to celebrate at Truro Cathedral on Saturday 17 October 2026.
Students cannot book their place at Graduation until after HE Results Day. A link to our Ede and Ravenscroft booking portal will be available here from 6pm on 07 July.
Until then, please find some helpful supporting information below, including our six simple steps to make your Graduation a success.
We can’t wait to welcome you
A reminder that Graduates and Guests must arrive at their allocated timeslot (below) for gowning and any booked photography with Ede & Ravenscroft. On arrival there will be a separate entrance for students and guests. Please don’t be concerned about being split up at this stage, you will receive E-Tickets from Ede & Ravenscroft ahead of Graduation and all names will be on the guestlist.
It is vital that Graduates and guests register on arrival. Registering is the only way for Graduates to ensure their name is read out during the awarding of scrolls. After registration Graduates will be directed to collect gowns and through Ede & Ravenscroft photography if it has been booked.
A polite reminder that parking is not available at Truro Cathedral and the Cathedral’s private car park has ANPR parking fines in operation.
