Hackathons UK was born from a simple idea: student-run hackathons are amazing, but organising them is hard. Since 2019, we've grown our work into a nationwide support system. We empower student organisers with everything they need to succeed—from logistical support and landing sponsors to direct mentorship. We don't just help run events; we help build communities and launch careers.

Solving the Sustainability Puzzle
Student societies are the lifeblood of the UK's student tech scene, but they face a constant challenge: knowledge is lost every time a committee graduates. This makes it difficult to build momentum and create consistently high-quality events.
Hackathons UK acts as the bridge, providing the stability and long-term memory that allows each new generation of organisers to build on the successes of the last, rather than starting from scratch.
For Organisers
We provide a playbook for success, whether you're two people with an idea or an experienced team that's been running events for years. This includes direct mentorship, access to our network of sponsors and partners, and logistical guidance on everything from finding a venue to building a budget. We handle the boring stuff so you can focus on creating an unforgettable experience.
For Hackers
By supporting organisers, we ensure that more students have access to high-quality, safe, and inclusive events. These are more than just coding competitions; they are launchpads for learning, networking, and building projects that matter.
Become part of our community, support student-led events, and shape the future of UK tech.
