Celebrating Diwali Melia
Ace Awareness Week
Black History Month
Black History Month 2025 was a vibrant success!
Uniting students with a Gala, Afrodance, and Paint & Sip.
“The campaign had a huge impact, and it also guided the theme for BHM across different societies… fantastic in ensuring student engagement!” Current Student, October 2025.
Spooks, Sips & Sell-Outs Event
We sold a massive 860+ tickets in October! Sell-outs for Oktoberfest, Paint & Sip, Sculpt & Sip, Purge (Southampton’s biggest Halloween club night!), and the UniLife Bath trip.
And our craft events buzzed with creativity making bracelets, felt flags, clay ghosts and bookmarks.
We also launched the Events Forum with Union President Emma – keep an eye on our socials to jump into the next one!
Venue Highlights
We sold over 4,243 sausage rolls and 3,080 Pain Au Chocs in the shop this month!
2-4-1 Tuesdays are flying – serving up 150-180 pizzas a week, with 901 sold so far!
Quiz & Chips
A fantastic total of £1,173 in quiz prize money was won during our first 5 events of the year!
