Guild Awards

Awards season is upon us which means our annual Guild Awards is coming!

This is the opportunity to shine a light on the amazing achievements of our student groups, committee members, and volunteers who have done SO MUCH incredible work this year.

From Outstanding Activity to Volunteer of the Year, there are so many awards to be had. We want to recognise everyone who has made their events inclusive, amazing new groups that have more recently been established, and those who have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure their members have the very best experience.

Join us at our Live Awards Show on 23 March! Taking place in the Great Hall in the Aston Webb building, you won’t want to miss this exciting celebration, complete with food and performances.
