Year in Review: College Events

JCR Balls

The Nutcracker themed Winter Ball was the first flagship event in the calendar, taking place in the last week of Michaelmas term. Set at the beautiful Beamish Hall Hotel, 500 students celebrated the end of term over a three-course meal. As always, entertainment ran throughout the evening, with dancers, live bands and of course a DJ and dance floor!

Stephenson staff and students came together in June 2022 to enjoy a Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Summer Ball, held at Derwent Manor Hotel on the Northumberland border. Attendees celebrated the end of the year on the hottest day of the year so far, having fun on the fairground rides and dancing the night away!

Stevo Day 2022

Stevo Day is always one of the most exciting and fun days in the calendar and this year was no exception. Students escaped to “Wonderland” where they enjoyed eleven hours of live music, inflatables and a hog roast!

Stephenson College Charity Fashion Show

The inaugural Stephenson College Charity Fashion Show was held in June 2022, raising £5330 for Papyrus, the UK charity for the prevention of young suicide.

The Fashion Show exec and models worked tirelessly to deliver a brilliant showcase of sustainable fashion from a range of up-andcoming designers, including Apricity Ireland, Gully Garms, Tom’s Trunks, Euphorius Design and Prativa Rai.

George Stephenson Birthday BBQ

Staff, students and SCR members came together on a lovely sunny afternoon sun at the annual George Stephenson Birthday BBQ on 9 June. Over 250 attendees enjoyed a delicious BBQ and slice of birthday cake in honour of our namesake.
