Two weeks before the ceremonies we will send you a link to book your guests’ tickets through AXS, our external ticket provider. We guarantee you will be able to bring six people.
Two of these guests can attend free of charge and additional tickets are £15. If you want to bring more than six people, we will be able to confirm if there is capacity after Sunday 15 June 2025.
Children
Graduation ceremonies are formal events and are at least 90 minutes long, potentially making them unsuitable for young children.
To ensure everyone enjoys the occasion without interruption, we offer a relaxed environment with a live stream of the ceremony at our dedicated Family Area at The Edge (located directly opposite Connexin Live). Tickets for the Family Area are free and provided in addition to your main ceremony tickets, allowing younger children a space to enjoy the event comfortably. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Please note that guests who have tickets for the family area at The Edge will not be admitted to Connexin Live.
Accessibility
Guests with accessibility requirements can book accessible tickets via the AXS ticketing link when you book your guest tickets. If your guests need any extra support for the events, please contact registry@hull.ac.uk.
Guest Visas
If your guests need a visa to attend your Graduation ceremony, they can apply for a Standard Visitor visa, unless they do not need a visa to come to the UK for a short period. They may need to show a copy of your emailed Graduation ceremony invite when submitting a visa application. Some nationalities who do not need a visa to travel to the UK now need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) in advance of travelling. Further information can be found here.
