Wednesday 18 March

The One World Gala is one of the most exciting and vibrant highlights of the year at Surrey, a true celebration of the incredible diversity that makes our student community so special.

Bringing together cultures from across the globe, the One World Gala showcases a stunning mix of cultural dance and musical performances, all delivered by our own talented students. It’s more than just a show, it’s a chance to experience the traditions that make people feel at home, shared proudly on one stage.

This year is set to be one of the biggest and best ever, with over 225 students taking part across 15 performances. Each act tells its own story, offering a glimpse into different cultures and identities, while coming together to create something truly powerful: a celebration of belonging.

Taking place on Saturday 21 March in University Hall, the evening will begin with doors opening at 18:00, with performances starting at 18:30. Make sure to arrive early to grab a good seat!

At a time when the world can feel increasingly divided, events like the One World Gala are a reminder of what community really looks like. Surrey is a place where differences are celebrated, where cultures are shared, and where everyone deserves to feel at home.

Whether you’re coming to support your friends, learn something new, or simply enjoy an incredible evening of performances, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

Hope to see you there!
