Lectures are free of charge, but catered occasions attract a small fee. Most events are subsidised for current students.

Recurring events
Reunion Weekend
The WHA organizes an annual reunion weekend each summer. The emphasis is on re-connecting with contemporaries and other friends. There is a choice of excursions or visits and a formal dinner on Saturday, a Chapel service and organ recital on Sunday morning, before lunch in the dining hall.
London Reception
As autumn begins to turn towards winter, we usually meet in London at one of the clubs (most recently the RAC) for a drinks reception with canapés and a few updates on the activities of the WHA and the Hall.
The new JCR President is always invited to address the guests and report on life in Hall.

Bristol Reception
In years past, the Warden invited members of the WHA to a drinks reception in Downside House in the spring of each year. We continue the tradition, but in different surroundings, often linked with the Graves Lecture and held in the Dame Monica Wills Chapel or other venues in Bristol.
