Event Details & Description

The Students’ Union Awards 2025  will take place on Thursday, 3rd April 2025 from 7:00pm to 11:30pm at the Macrobert Arts Centre.

Attire: Formal (Sustainable fashion encouraged) 

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.  

On the Menu

At the event, as well as providing a glass of fizz on arrival, there will be an assortment of food, including:

• A selection of meat and vegan sandwiches
• Piri Piri chicken skewers, spicy bean tacos, focaccia with Mediterrean vegetables, Macaroni cheese pies, Roasted cauliflower, pea and sweet potato pakora with mango dip
• Chocolate brownie

Please note the menu is subject to change. Dietary requirements will be accommodated.

Tickets are limited to one per University of Stirling student member. 

When buying, you will be asked a series of questions to ensure we seat you with your relevant peers, understand your dietary requirements and consider any accessibility requirements you may have. 

Once a ticket has been bought, your name will be added to a list. This ticket is attached to your name so cannot be transferred. You will not be given a physical/printed ticket until the day of the Awards. These physical tickets can be collected between 9.30am-3pm from the Atrium, on the day of the event. You cannot collect a ticket on behalf of another student.  

We will be unable to refund any tickets purchased.
