Green Templeton celebrates a socially-distanced Christmas in the Quad
Green Templeton College staff gathered to celebrate a socially distanced Christmas in the Quad on Thursday 17 December.
Colleagues admired the Christmas tree outside the Lodge and chatted over mince pies, mulled wine and soft drinks while Christmas music played, as they marked the end of Michaelmas term in a COVID-19 secure way.
The festive staff event was organised by the Events and Catering Teams, alongside other separate Christmas in the Quad gatherings for students and families.
There was plenty of excitement at the student event too, with friends who hadn’t seen each other in person for lengthy periods of time overjoyed to catch up with each other, albeit at a distance!
Meanwhile, at the family friendly event children were treated to hot chocolate as they admired the Christmas lights in college.
The Events and Catering Teams also spread some cheer during the last week of term by delivering festive hampers full of goodies to students.

The hampers were filled with an assortment of treats including cheese and crackers, candy canes, chocolate and decorate your own gingerbread kits.
We hope everyone who received one enjoyed the contents!
The Events and Catering Teams launched their own Instagram account in Michaelmas.
