Step into an alternate universe as campus transforms for the Summer Ball 2022.

Venues all over the University will open their doors for us to celebrate the end of the year and to welcome in the summer. With your favourite drink in hand, take a journey through campus surrounded by street performers, live acts and DJs. See the views in all their glory from the top of the Ferris wheel, and then explore the secret venues to find that perfect photo opportunity.

So get your black tie attire at the ready and immerse yourself in an experience like no other.

The Acts

The multiple chart-topping DJ/producers will be headlining our Summer Ball with a set sure to be packed full of hits. From “Feel The Love” to “Waiting All Night” to “These Days” - the collective have amassed a string of huge anthems over the past decade and are one of the most successful DJ acts in the U.K.

WOODY COOK, son to Zoe Ball and Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim), is a successful DJ bringing you all the latest tunes in his own unique style.

Summer Ball Sustainability

As part of our drive to make our SU events more sustainable here is the approach we have taken for the Summer Ball.

Re-usable event cups

In previous years we have had to use around 20,000 disposable plastic cups in our outside bars. This year we will hire re-usable cups which will be washed at Lime tree ready to be used again. When you buy a drink, you will be asked to pay a £1 deposit for your cup. Each time you buy a drink you can take the cup back to the bar which will be replaced for a clean one free of charge. At the end of the night, you can return your cup to the bar and claim your £1 deposit back or leave your cup at a collection point by the exit and donate your deposit to RAG’s Big 4 charities.

Event maps

We have created a digital event map which you can access using QR codes around the event, saving loads of printing and paper. The Event Map will show you timings and locations of what is happening throughout the night.

Casino & Free drinks vouchers

This year these have been made using recycled business cards. They have not been dated specifically so they can be re used for future events.

Use of local suppliers

Where possible we have used local suppliers to keep down the carbon footprint.

• If for any reason you sure unable to attend, you must not resell your ticket for greater than its face value. We are also unable to help facilitate any re-sales.
