Sidney Sussex takes a committed stance on sustainability. Recyclable cups will be used throughout the event as well as partnering with our caterers for the use of biodegradable containers for food and drink. We are partnering with various drinks providers who will ensure organically produced beverages.

However, the nature of an event like this is difficult to manage, for example many guests do not care to sort recyclable waste. We encourage all guests to help us work together to reduce the impact of our event as much as possible. If you have any suggestions or feedback regarding sustainability, please get in touch.

The committee decided not to increase the base line cost to the Sidney May Week Event in line with inflation. With careful planning and budgeting, we have been able to achieve a event of high quality which remains one of the cheaper events in Cambridge. Most other events have seen increases in ticket price by 10-20%, whereas Sidney will remain cheaper than the June Event in 2023!

We appreciate that tickets are extremely expensive in the current economic climate and hope to provide a well worth experience for you and your friends. The Committee shares pride in what we have been able to achieve on a reduced budget!

Class Act Tickets are available for members of Sidney Sussex JCR. To qualify, please keep an eye out for an email detailing the process. These tickets will be subsidised by 50% of their face value.
