Social life

At Cranmer Hall we believe that when Jesus said He had come that we might ‘have life and have it to the full’ He, at least to some extent, meant that Christians should ‘get a life’. Joy matters, and it is an important part of who we are in Durham.

We love being part of the wider college life of St. John’s College.

Bar

The college has a well stocked cellar bar which is made good use of by students.

Sport and Fitness

Sport is very much part of our life in college.

There are many opportunities to enjoy sport and keep fit at Cranmer Hall.
