Old Haberdashers Day 2024 will take place on Sunday 19 May at the Elstree campus.  All alumni of Habs Girls and Habs Boys are warmly invited to attend, and we encourage you to bring your families for what promises to be a fun, relaxing day at Habs. We are also inviting current and former staff, so look out for some familiar faces!

We like to keep things as informal as possible, so you can look forward to plenty of time to mingle with friends, wander around the campus or join a tour of the schools led by current students. You will be able to enjoy some food and drink (or bring your own picnic), and there will be (free!) ice cream vans to top off the afternoon.

The event is free, but advance registration is mandatory. Please book using the buttons below.
