Twenty-one years of helping students save. Not bad, huh?
It's Student Beans' birthday! Student Beans officially turns 21 this June, and we're celebrating the only way we know how — bigger student discounts, a HUGE competition giveaway and one week packed with reasons to treat yourself.
Exams are wrapping up, summer plans are pending, and we think you deserve a little support after getting through another long uni year.
From Monday 1st June to Sunday 7th June 2026, we're dropping limited-time offers across your favourite brands, plus giving you the chance to win some seriously good prizes.
This isn't background noise. This is birthday week.
Leeds students — we're bringing the birthday party to you 🎉
Birthday celebrations should happen in real life, too.
That’s why on Thursday 4th June 2026, we're heading to Trinity Leeds Shopping Centre, Lower Ground Atrium (Briggate entrance) from 11 am–5 pm for a full day of games, giveaways and proper birthday energy.
Expect:
A giant birthday card for everyone to sign
A huge birthday entrance moment
Spin the wheel challenges
Crack the safe games
A golden ticket grabber challenge
Exclusive freebies and brand prizes
Music and good vibes all day
You'll need the Student Beans app to get involved, so make sure it's downloaded before you arrive.
