What began as a vision to make higher education more accessible has grown into a vibrant community of students, colleagues and partners, all united by a shared purpose: creating life-changing opportunities.
Now, it’s time to celebrate that journey.
On Friday, 10 July 2026, UK Management College proudly marks its 10th anniversary with SummerFest 2026 – our biggest celebration! Hosted at Heaton Park, Manchester, this landmark event will bring together students, staff, university partners, families, and friends for a day dedicated to recognising the people, stories, and achievements that have shaped UKMC over the last decade.
Our SummerFest 2026 promises something for everyone! Expect live entertainment, festival-style food and refreshments, interactive games and activities, awards and recognition ceremonies, exciting announcements, family-friendly experiences, and plenty of opportunities to reconnect, celebrate, and create new memories together.
More than an event, SummerFest is a thank you – to every student who believed in their potential, every colleague who inspired others, every partner who supported our mission, and every member of the UKMC community who has helped us grow over the past ten years.
Speaking about the event, Michael Taylor, Head of Marketing at UK Management College, said:
“SummerFest 2026 is more than a celebration of our tenth anniversary; it is a celebration of every student, every colleague, and every success story that has shaped UKMC over the past decade. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together and look forward to welcoming our community for what promises to be an unforgettable day.”
The celebrations will begin with arrivals from 11:00 am for UKMC staff and students, before opening to all attendees from 3:00 pm. Whether you’re a current student, colleague, partner, or friend of UKMC, SummerFest 2026 promises a day filled with celebration, connection, entertainment, and memories to last a lifetime.
As UKMC celebrates its 10th anniversary, it reflects on a decade of breaking barriers, building communities, changing lives, and creating opportunities. It is a story of collaboration, innovation, and thousands of individual success stories brought together by one shared purpose.
Join us as we celebrate 10 years of excellence, 10 years of community, and 10 years of making a difference. Our greatest achievement isn’t the campuses we’ve built – it’s the confidence we have built in people.
