Hello Student,

 

Warwick Presents team

Warwick Presents takeover

Warwick Presents is the place for all student events here at Warwick. Our team runs a programme of cultural celebrations, activities and games, performances and screenings, and student creativity. Pop down and see us at one of our events below, designed to help you have fun, explore new traditions, and meet new people!

Latest news and updates 


We’re working to make Warwick Presents the place for all extra-curricular and co-curricular opportunities at Warwick; anything outside of your department that helps you make the most of your University experience, meet new people or just have fun.

You can now submit your events to our centralised calendar, and we can include them on our site, and in the MyWarwick app. We want to build a network of event organisers so we can help you with shared resources, better understand and improve the extra-curricular experience for students, and tailor our own event provision to meet your needs.

If you run events for a club or society, find out more about how you can get involved. If you have any questions, please email us, or join us at one of our open meetings this term.

We’ll have activities taking place during vacation and throughout the year as well, so keep an eye on our website for updates.

If you’re not feeling the spark for anything we have planned and have a great idea for an event, let us know. You can pop an idea in our suggestions box and who knows, you might see it in the line-up next term!

We hope to see you very soon.
