The Inn organises a number of activities for students throughout the year in additional to the programme of qualifying sessions.  All students are actively encouraged to participate in as many of the Inn activities as possible. Moots, debates, competitions and lectures are advertised on the Inn's website and at the BPTC Providers.  The Inn also runs Sponsorship and Marshalling Schemes, designed to improve students understanding of life at the Bar.
