Formal events at University of Surrey?

Hello

I know that a lot of universities nowadays have formal events such as a Summer Ball etc.
Does the University of Surrey have anything like this throughout the year?

Thanks! :p:

Yes but rarely. We have the colours ball at Epsom racecourse which is essentially for all the sports teams. Some departments/societies do them but I've struggled to remember any for the university as a whole. They don't have a big enough hall really.

Departmental societies sometimes put on a ball if enough people are interested (We had the maths ball a few weeks ago, as did law and music have their balls awhile back too). As a whole though, other than Colours ball (for sports clubs), there isn't a uni-wide formal

In my first year there was a Christmas ball I can't remember if there was one this year.

Also in Economics we have a bi-annual dinner

Most Societies, Departments, and sports clubs have formal dinners/ black-tie dinners. E.g. Economics, Law, Politics, Engineering, Rugby etc all have them.

The university-wide formal dinners include (but aren't limited to) the Colour Ball and Union Ball. There is also the possibility of running large formals using cathedrals venues.
