Join us for a very special event, which will start with a visit from The Raptor Foundation, who will be bringing to Hughes a selection of birds of prey (including an owl). The visit will offer a chance to get up close to the raptors, handle them and ask questions. The visit will also include a flying display, and volunteers will be needed to help fly the birds.

Brunch will follow in the dining hall, with an added addition to the usual menu: ice cream in cones!

This event is open to the whole Hughes Hall community: students, associates, seniors and staff, who are also welcome to bring families. Come along and enjoy a sociable, relaxed brunch (for all ages) at Hughes ....

Don't forget to top up your Dining Hall card before you come ....
