Don't fancy a picnic? Not to worry as the festival is accessible and free!* The festival will run from 11 am - 7 pm and offer fun for the whole family. Race to Splat the Rat, release your inner fighter in Gladiator or challenge your fellow sea dogs to the Pirate's Obstacle Course. Plus two children-only bouncy castles will be available for any little ones looking to reach the skies! 

 

Safety

In line with University guidance, we strongly advise attendees to take a Lateral Flow Test twice weekly. Tests are available for collection on-campus from the Great Hall, or alternatively from many local pharmacies and online. While it's not a requirement to attend the event, it is recommended prior to attendance.

The Picnic by the Pond event has been organised to meet the Government’s current guidelines. Organizers will continue to monitor the government guidance and necessary safety precautions will be in place. Please take notice of any safety measures and follow the guidance available on the day.
