Celebrating 175 Years of Lancing College

On Saturday 29 June 2024 OLs, Former Parents, Governors, Current Parents, Staff and Friends of the College gathered together for our 175th Anniversary Ball.  Our community reunited and celebrated the past, present of our marvellous school.


The spectacular ball began with a 'Sussex Bubbles' drinks reception in the gardens surrounding the Chapel. Drinks were accompanied by delicious canapes. Guests then made their way to the flower filled and sparkling marquee in the Lower Quad where they enjoyed a sumptuous Summertime feast prepared by award winning caterers Caper & Berry. Speeches were made by Head Master, Dominic Oliver and Chair of Governors, Martin Slumbers, who also honoured the Head Master's decade at Lancing College. 
 
Following dinner, The Dark Blues band filled the dance floor to classic and favourite tunes before fireworks lit up Sussex Downs skies in a beautiful display. A special fire lit '175' shimmered in the shadows of the Lancing College Chapel. The party then continued with guests dancing their shoes off to the band until carriages at midnight. A party and celebration that will long be remembered.
