Glasgow Caledonian University Big 150th Celebration Weekend

Join us on campus from Friday 26th August – Sunday 30th August 2026 for an unforgettable weekend as Glasgow Caledonian University celebrates its 150th anniversary with a vibrant programme of events for all ages. From alumni reunions with live music, campus tours, afternoon tea, and inspiring talks to exhibitions showcasing our rich history and opportunities to reconnect, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. There are a mixture of free and ticketed events.

A highlight of the celebration will be our lively alumni reunions, hosted by Capital Radio Presenter Katy J who will also be doing a live DJ set. Guests will also enjoy live music performances, with rock and indie vibes from STV Presenter Laura Boyd (and the Capri Sons), and festival favourites from Colonel Mustard and the Dijon 5. In addition to entertainment, tickets include a drink on arrival, a selection of wine and beer on the table, photo booth and a hot fork buffet.

Families attending the weekend can take part in fun activities and workshops, while food stalls and social spaces create the perfect setting to celebrate together. Whether you’re a graduate, student, or friend, everyone is warmly welcome to be part of this special milestone weekend.

Tickets for reunions, afternoon tea and tours are available now, with more events to be announced very soon!
