Reunion at Barts Fountain

Reunions

A reunion is a perfect way to rekindle old friendships and check in on how your friends’ lives have been progressing.

We’ve pulled together some advice that has been gathered over the years to help your reunion go off without a hitch.

You can also promote your reunion on our site and read about reunions from yesteryear.

Hospital tours & gift shop

It is no longer possible to organise a tour of the hospital as the department responsible for this has been disbanded.

The Guild Shop is situated on the ground floor of the King George V Building and is open Monday – Friday from 8 am – 4 pm.

It may be possible to arrange for the shop to open on a Saturday. If you would like this, please either telephone them on 020 3465 6382 or email contact@bartsguild.org.uk. Please also copy Steve Bench (cs.hornets@googlemail.com) to this request as he will ensure a volunteer is available if at all possible.
