Blades Ball

Wednesday is FEDs-day... the BIGGEST sports social on campus!

So you've signed up to your new team 💪 and you're ready to start training and playing matches every Wednesday. This is your event to celebrate a win or commiserate a loss. 

Get decked out in the fanciest suits and dresses you own, and head down to Sub Zero for NOT ONLY the biggest night of the week, but for our exclusive, once a year only, Red & Black Blades Ball!

The theme is dress to impress, so find your best suits, ties and dresses, get dressed up with your team and party the night away with us! 💃🕺

And when we say party the night away, we really do mean it! This is a two room event. Sub Zero is your main room and The In-between is your second room! 

We have the best drinks deals and the biggest party of the week in Colchester! Book your tickets now to avoid missing out, whether you're a die hard blades fan or just want to experience the biggest night of the week!
