During the evening
A special live piano performance from Myleene as part of the entertainment.
2026 marks three of the most significant anniversaries in Trent's history. Myleene's presence is particularly meaningful in this landmark year, bringing generations of Old Tridents, staff and friends together for one extraordinary evening.
Founded in 1868, Trent College has shaped generations of pupils across one hundred and sixty years of teaching, sport, music and friendship.
The 2025/26 academic year marks half a century since the first girl joined the school community. We're honoured to welcome the first girl and first housemistress as special guests.
One hundred and fifty years of the Chapel, built in memory of the founder Francis Wright. At the centre of Trent life ever since.
A four-and-a-half hour evening, properly produced. Black cabs lined up at 11:30 sharp.
The reception begins. The room warms up.
Into the Prince Obolensky Building. A warm welcome from your host.
Four courses, the President's address, a Heads & Tails round, and Myleene's ten-minute classical set.
A final round, and the kind of conversation that runs late.
Cars at the gatehouse. Until next year.
Trent College throws open two of its most beautiful interiors for the evening. Drinks in the library, dinner in the grand hall.
The drinks reception. Oak panelling, warm light, champagne tray service from the moment you arrive.
