Phone Policy
The use of mobile phones and similar devices for taking calls or listening to music without headphones is prohibited at all times in the Dining Hall. Although the use of such devices for quiet purposes, such as messaging or browsing, is permitted, Wolfson encourages members and their guests to use mealtimes for social interaction and conversation. Stricter rules apply at Formal Halls and Guest Nights, where it is not permitted to use mobile devices for any purpose in the Dining Hall, including photography.
Formal Halls
A core Cambridge tradition, Formal Halls are special College dinners served by candlelight, in which attendees wear formal attire. Formal Halls at Wolfson take place in the Dining Hall or Combination Room on Tuesday and Friday in Full Term, and on Tuesday at other times. These events have a dress code and advance booking is required.
