Visiting Cambridge

Faculty of Law Open Day

The Faculty holds an annual Open Day in late March for anyone thinking of applying for the undergraduate BA Law degree.

Our next Faculty Open Day will take place on 20 March 2026.

Our Open Day is split into identical morning and afternoon sessions:

• Morning Session: Registration begins at 9am and the event begins at 10am. The programme ends at 12:30pm.
• Afternoon Session: Registration begins at 1pm and the event begins at 2pm. The programme ends at 4:30pm.

All students, parents, and supporters are welcome to join us. The programme includes talks on the Law course at Cambridge, the application process and sample legal material.  

Tea/coffee and light refreshments will be available between 12:30pm and 2pm for attendees of both sessions (morning and afternoon). You will have the opportunity to meet various academic staff, current Law students, representatives from Cambridge Student Services, such as the Career and Disability Services, as well as current solicitors and barristers.

You can purchase lunch from cafes onsite or in the centre of Cambridge (approx. 15-minute walk away).

The event will take place at the Faculty of Law on the University's Sidgwick Site. Faculty address: The David Williams Building, 10 West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9DZ.

If you wish to attend our Open Day, please complete an online registration form. Numbers are limited and registrations will be closed when the event is fully subscribed.

Please note:

• We welcome accompanying adults (parents / guardians / teachers) to the event but, for space reasons, a maximum of one will be able to accompany the participant into talks.
• Places for this event are limited. If either session (morning or afternoon) becomes oversubscribed, registration for that session will close. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants will be contacted only if their place cannot be confirmed, or if they are placed on a waiting list. If you do not hear from us (once registered), your place remains confirmed.
• There is no parking on the Sidgwick Site, besides limited space for blue badge holders.

If you have any questions, please contact us at outreach@law.cam.ac.uk
