Having met at a disco in Brasenose Cellars in 1971, Paul and Phyl Carvosso were married in Pembroke Chapel on a snowy April day in 1975. We were delighted to have them back exactly 50 years later this April to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary! Paul shared with us his recollections of his and Phyl’s wedding and their recent anniversary celebrations.

Pembroke alumnus Alex Joynes (2012, Theology) was recently named the winner of the People’s Play Award for his first full-length play Sides, staged at the People’s Theatre in Newcastle in May. 

The first of our 2025 Open Days in July saw hundreds of prospective applicants and their supporters welcomed to Pembroke for tours with students, informal meetings with tutors, and to explore all that Pembroke has to offer.
