2026 Alumnae Reunion
Sunday 11 October 2026
*Booking will open in Spring 2026.*
If you left MHSG in a year ending in a ‘6’, this is your year to gather your friends and celebrate your decade reunions! As always, the reunion is not limited to those celebrating decades; we welcome all alumnae and former staff to join us regardless of when you said goodbye to MHSG, so why not get a group of friends together? The day promises to be filled with nostalgia as you reconnect and reminisce with old friends and former teachers and explore those once familiar buildings.
If you are interested in being a year group rep, helping to connect with other alumnae in your year, please contact the Development Office.

Founders' Lecture with Rose Dummer (CANCELLED)
Tuesday 31 March 2026
Rose Dummer (Class of 1985) has had an unconventional career path. After initially studying Architecture at University College London, she changed tack, becoming the first female Anti-Tank Helicopter Pilot with the British Army. She served for ten years, before retiring to have a family and accidentally wandering into a cake decorating career.
Her show-stopping over-sized designs have since led to a string of awards and appearances on television, including starring in Channel 4’s ‘Extreme Cake Makers’. She is now a regular on TV and radio and has developed a new career hosting at events around the world and presenting international award shows.
We are thrilled to welcome Rose back to give this year’s Founders’ Lecture, and to hear about these incredible experiences in her own words.
