Master’s Weekend 2026

The Master Entrepreneur, Alderman Alastair King DL, welcomes members, guests, and guests of the Company to the 2026 Master's Weekend, which returns to the City of Cambridge from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th May. Given the highly intellectual environment of this ancient university town, the Master's Consort, Mrs Florence King, has devised a series of short academic sessions to fit around the usual gamut of social and sporting excursions that characterise the Master's Weekend. The question that we (with help from our friends at Judge Business School) will consider is: Why aren’t there enough scale-ups in the UK? The objective is to combine your entrepreneurial experience with a structured action research approach, producing practical insight rather than abstract debate. FRIDAY 8TH MAY * St Neots for factory and business tours (3pm-5pm) We're delighted to be visiting Gallyon, courtesy of Past Master Gunmaker, Richard Hefford-Hobbs. Combining 18th-Century heritage craftsmanship with 21st-Century precision engineering, Gallyon is
