Invites have been sent to everyone we have contact details for from the Class of 1974 and preceding years. If you haven't heard from us, please get in touch: alumni.hq@keele.ac.uk.
Bookings for the 2024 Golden Graduates reunion have now closed.
This year, we are delighted to invite the Class of 1974, and preceding years, to their Golden Graduates' Reunion. You are welcome to bring a non-alumni guest to the reunion. You will need to set-up an account on Keele's online store using the link above. Payment is via credit or debit card (£40 per attendee).
The booking system will automatically generate a confirmation for your booking. We will then be in touch with you via email or phone in order to ensure we have all the information we need, such as dietary requirements.
Please note that bookings are taken on a first come, first served basis.
Cancellations: If you cancel your attendance at the event before Friday 14 June 2024, you will receive a full refund. Any bookings cancelled after this date may be non-refundable, dependent on circumstances. All cancellations to bookings must be sent to alumni.hq@keele.ac.uk
The event is held at Smart Innovation Hub (also known as Denise Coates Foundation building)*, one of our newest and most innovative buildings on campus.
It is also conveniently located opposite the on-campus Courtyard by Marriott hotel, where many attendees are choosing to stay. It is a very short walk (just a couple of minutes).
All parking nearby is free, though please do not use the hotel's car park if you are not staying there.
* Please note this is a change of venue from that previously advertised due to ongoing repair work at Keele Hall - all those who have purchased tickets already have been informed of the change.
Alumni are eligible for a 10% discount at the on-campus Courtyard by Marriott hotel. Please book directly with the Hotel by emailing sales@courtyardkeele.co.uk
In your email, please include the date(s) of your booking, your name, and state that you are alumni of Keele University. You can also phone the Marriott on 01782 376820.
We will offer a free shuttle service to and from the Marriott on the evening. We will provide more information about this via email before the event.
Keele Day will be taking place on campus the following day; please join us!
