The Freshers Ball will be held at Nottingham Trent Students’ Union on Shakespeare Street – City Campus on Sunday 29th September 2024. Doors will open at 8pm, and the event will finish at 1:30am. You are encouraged to arrive by 9:30pm to take advantage of the free drinks reception and free sweet treat!

Freshers who have purchased the ‘Freshers Pass Plus’ or ‘Ultimate Freshers Pass’ have guaranteed entry to the Freshers Ball included within their pass! Pass holders will be sent a ticket automatically the week prior to the event.

Unfortunately, the standard Freshers Pass does not gain access to the Freshers Ball, and pass holders will need to purchase a separate Freshers Ball ticket.

Only NTU Freshers (and their guests) can attend the Freshers Ball.
