About this Event
Get your tux and gown ready, it's going to be a ball. The Scottish Afro Ball is a black-tie evening celebrating graduates with community.
In partnership with Kwetu Coffee and ROOTS, Murata, Kenyan Students in Scotland, Global Scholars Connect, The Calabash and Stringz Visuals, it brings students, graduates, families and professionals together for one elegant night.
What to expect: an elegant evening of music, good company and connection; recognition of exemplary students and their achievements; a chance to meet professionals and mentors, including those interested in adopting a graduate through our graduate programme. The night continues later with our 142b event.
Who it is for: current students, recent graduates, their families and friends, and professionals who want to support the next generation in Scotland. Everyone is welcome.
Timings: doors and welcome from 1pm. Food is served at exactly 3pm, so please arrive in good time.
Why £10: your ticket goes towards subsidising the cost of food, entertainment, photography, videography, awards and more, so the evening is accessible and affordable for everyone in the community. Sponsors and partners are most welcome to support us.
A night of culture, celebration, games and inspiration, with a 360 camera, a DJ, a free photo shoot in our themed Christmas booth, great food and drinks.
Dress code: black tie, tuxedos and evening gowns. Cultural formal wear is very welcome. Ticket: £10 per person. Tickets are priced low on purpose and the evening is supported by sponsors and funders. Access and dietary needs: tell us when you register and we will do our best to meet them.
