In QUB Orange Society, we celebrate the culture and heritage of people from an "Orange" background, which can mean lots of different things for lots of different people. "Orange" is used as both a catch-all term for people from a PUL (Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist) background, as well as to refer to the Orange Institution, a historical organisation dedicated to upholding Protestant faith, heritage and culture. The Orange Order has a long and complex history, well worth exploring. Nowadays, it engages with charity, community projects, and cultural celebration, and is an important part of Northern Irish culture, with tens of thousands of members throughout the world. These members work through dialogue, education and preservation, to promote and celebrate their culture.

The QUB Orange Society is open to everyone, whether members of the Orange Institution or not, and regardless of background, all are made welcome. We hold a variety of events throughout the year, both at the Queen’s campus and further afield. Examples include:

- Speakers from a variety of backgrounds, such as Orange figures, historians, charity campaigners and politicians.

- Trips to Orange heritage sites and museums to learn more.

- Charitable causes and fundraising campaigns.

- Fun social events!

This year we have plenty of exciting events planned, so make sure you don’t miss out! Why not become part of an exciting, unique, and fun group?

Please reach out via our email or our social media pages if you have any questions, or would like to come along!
