BUY YOUR TICKETS FOR THE SU AWARDS 2025
Our annual Society Awards Ball has been transformed into the Students’ Union Awards. This will allow our amazing societies to still get the recognition they deserve whilst also ensuring other student volunteers across the university are being recognised for their hard work.
Whether you're part of a society, an Academic Rep, a Steer Peer Mentor, a Volunteer Officer, or a student making a difference – this night is about you. Students are the heartbeat of the University community and we can’t wait to celebrate all your incredible achievements.
This year, we’re embracing sustainability, encouraging guests to wear something they already own or purchase second-hand.
We’ve listened to your feedback and taken on board your thoughts on how to make the event more inclusive and accessible while keeping its integrity. With a refreshed format, this year’s event is shaping up to be the best one yet. For the first time, our event will be held at Macrobert Arts Centre, a hub of Stirling’s creative scene and the perfect backdrop for a truly special night. Expect student performances, a dynamic awards ceremony in a professional theatre setting, a fresh take on dining options, and our classic ceilidh – all designed to make the annual awards night bigger and better than ever.
Tickets go on sale on the 13th February from 10am, so grab yours and be part of an unforgettable night!
