The Big Student Lock In

Get ready for the BIGGEST student lock-in of 2026. You bring yourself, we'll bring the vibes

The BIG Student Lock-in is BACK... and it's bigger.

Want to be part of the BIGGEST student event of 2026? Access granted ?. You're just one click away.

OH AND BY THE WAY... this year is bigger and better, so we have a new ticketing system.

The tickets are... COMPLETELY FREE! But limited! (Get 'em quick).

Why the change? Anything you pay goes straight back into guaranteeing more high-value freebies and less crowding, so you get more from the brands you love.

Hold up! What exactly is The BIG Student Lock-in?

The BIG Student Lock-in is London's flagship student festival, and it's back! We're bringing 10,000+ students together for one massive day of discovery, culture, and connection.

Join us on Saturday, 7th March 2026, at one of London's most iconic venues: The Business Design Centre.

Meet your favourite brands up close and personal. Think exclusive product giveaways, immersive activations, discount codes galore, live DJ sets, and panel talks on our live stages.

The temptation to spill the tea on exactly who we've got involved this year is HIGH (we're talking viral TikTok-worthy content). Over the next few months, we'll reveal the brands and experiences that are lined up and waiting to meet you!

To give you a lil' flavour, though... this year we've scaled up to EIGHT interactive zones that take you on a journey through student life:
