The Bhangra Showdown began as a venture, organised by the Imperial College Punjabi Society, with the aim of raising money for charities whilst enjoying the traditions of our vibrant Punjabi culture.

With support from the Punjabi community and university Bhangra teams from across the UK, The Bhangra Showdown has continuously been successful in fulfilling both of these goals: the event has received much media attention as a model for cultural enterprise. Furthermore we have been able to raise tens of thousands of pounds for charitable causes and, as such, Imperial College Punjabi Society is proud to announce the return of The Bhangra Showdown – this year being held in aid of National Kidney Federation, SOS Children’s Villages and Sankara Eye Foundation.
