The Bacchus Society is one of the venerable and distinguished societies within Oxford Brookes University. The society was founded in 1997 as an alumni society that has since evolved into a student-led society. It is a community of students, graduates, and friends of the Hospitality, Tourism and Events subject area who are all formally connected. We endeavour to strengthen and foster a worldwide network of industry professionals.

“During my tenure as Head of Events for the Bacchus Society, I propelled my organisational and management skills to the next level. There were countless opportunities to collaborate on a range of ideas and develop new and diverse events; all of which enabled my personal and professional development setting me in good stead for post-university careers”
Charlotte Bailey; Events Manager 2020-21
The hospitality industry thrives on relationships. Our collective aim is to provide opportunities for students to meet and learn from industry professionals and establish long-term connections. We organise events that boost employability such as networking, guest talks, and workshops but also social events for students. All events build towards our extravagant, most awaited end-of-the-year Bacchus Ball!
The Bacchus Society encourages you to stay connected with Oxford Brookes Business School after you graduate to continue benefiting from the networks built at the University.
