M.A. Fletcher Gown Cupboard

Located within the M.A. Fletcher Gown Cupboard are the academic gowns, which may be borrowed for Matriculation and formal dinners, but must be returned immediately afterwards. Additionally, this is the home of Castle M.C.R.’s croquet set which may be used by M.C.R. members at any time, either in Fellow's Garden, during the summer, or Palace Green, year round.

The Honesty Bar

The price of alcoholic beverages is £1.50 for a (50ml) measure of port or spirits. We also have some premium whiskies (Macallan; Laphroaig) and cognac, which are priced at £2.50 for a double shot. Mixers are free. Payment for drinks should be placed in the glass beer stein near the bottles on the drinks shelf.

For those who prefer a non-alcoholic beverage, free tea and coffee-making facilities are available, in addition to a selection of soft drinks to be found in the fridge.

When you have finished with your glasses and empty bottles, please place them on the windowsill adjacent to the main door.
