UClan SU END OF YEAR PROM - event info

PROM

Proms, eh? For most of my life all they were to me was an easy plot device for any film or drama featuring ‘American Teens’ and the setting for the incredible climactic scenes of Carrie. They were all about high pressure dates, popularity contests, endangered virginities and something called a ‘corsage’, which apparently you keep in a fridge.
But then I left Uni, and there was no real full stop, one day I was at Uni, the next day I had my last exam and by the afternoon I wasn’t a student anymore, no party, no big send off, no chance to get all togged up and take some collectable photos to mark the era. We went the Wetherspoons and ate scampi, then said bye. I realised I’d missed the real point of Proms.

UCLan are here to make sure that doesn’t happen to you. Mark this date in your diaries, Saturday 22nd May, UCLan SU End of Year Prom, whether you’re leaving UCLan forever or just for the summer, it’s the perfect way to end the year and say your goodbyes and smell ya laters. We’ll be laying on the red carpet treatment with full paparazzi and butler welcome, pro-photographer inside for you to get those memory snaps, and a fully dressed venue to give the whole evening the va-va-voom a Prom deserves. Oh and a very special guest headline DJ, just watch this space for that one.

You can approach it in your own style, whatever that may be; Get yourself all dressed up to the nines, hire a limo, get one of those corsages out of the fridge, arrive hand in hand with your true love, even book a hotel room for after. Or you can just rock up in a black cab with your flatmates wearing whatever happened to be the cleanest clothes on your bedroom floor. Whatever fits your personality and your pocket. All we ask you to do is make the very best of every moment of the night, make it one to remember.

If you do decide to push the boat out a bit, as at the end of the year you’ll no doubt be wary of the balance, we’ve called in favours from several of our friendly local businesses to sort you out so great offers and discounts on hair and beauty treatments, suits and dresses, even a pre-Prom meal. See below for a list of offers.

Early bird tickets go on sale on 1st February, £10 for NUS holders, £14 for any guests.
