Proud to shout about it : The Spooky Social

Proud to Shout About is a platform for students to celebrate their successes in being part of the union. Whether it’s running societies or simply moments that make you proud, this is the space to share them. It’s all about highlighting the effort, dedication, and passion that students put into their university life and giving them the recognition they deserve.

The Spooky Social was a fantastic Halloween collaboration between the LGBTQ+ Society, Horror Society, Creative Writing Society and Yarncraft Society, bringing members together for an evening full of creativity, fun, food and fright!

There was something for everyone, with a range of spooky activities on offer, from papercrafts and colouring to spooky storytelling and cross-stitch. Members also got the chance to show off their Halloween spirit in our costume contest! Everyone was invited to dress up and anonymously vote for their favourite costumes, with the top three receiving their pick of some fantastic themed prizes, including spooky painting kits and pumpkin keyrings.

Of course, no Halloween event would be complete without plenty of treats! Our snack table was a huge hit, filled with snacks, baked goods and drinks, including Halloween-themed cookies and adorable pizza pumpkins. Members also enjoyed the option of taking home a hot chocolate to keep warm on their journey home.

With so many members attending, getting involved in the activities and enjoying the treats, the event was a brilliant success! The committees involved were delighted with how well the evening went and are already looking forward to bringing more exciting events and collaborations to members in the future.

A huge well done to all four societies for putting together such a brilliant event and creating a welcoming, fun-filled Halloween evening for everyone! 

Here’s to celebrating creativity, building connections and continuing to make university life something worth shouting about!
