The first Pepys Dinner was held on 23 February 1905. It was part of the Articles of Agreement (1724) for the Pepys Library that there should be an annual celebration in gratitude for Samuel Pepys' benefaction.

According to A.S. Ramsey in Bygone Days at Magdalene it was the idea of Stuart Donaldson (Master, 1904-1915) who said 'IF we are going to make a splash we may as well make a big one'.

The Pepys Dinner is held annually on 23 February as this was Pepys' birthday.

It was not held between 1995 and 2005 and it was not held in 2021 due to Covid.
