This year, we are reimagining the annual Freshers' Fair to welcome you to Lancaster, whether that's for the first time or the first time in a long time!
Introducing Freshers' Fest: our biggest event yet, as we move from our old home in the Great Hall across campus to the Sports Centre for festival vibes as you find your tribe. From exciting performances to tantalizing food stalls, striking surroundings and countless experiences, Freshers' Fest promises to kick off the new academic year like never before.
Taking place on October 6th from 12-5pm (including an 11-12pm accessibility and PG early bird hour), this is your opportunity to find your people and have some fun.
Meet hundreds of student groups, societies, sports clubs and discover innumerable opportunities to get involved. Whether you're into planting trees, throwing shapes (on the dancefloor or on Fortnite) or a spot of archery, there's something for everyone.
Plus, an array of businesses will be on-site sharing their exclusive student deals and freebies. Freshers' Fest is open to all students, so get the date in your diary and get ready for Fresher's Fest!
If you're a student leader wondering how to get involved, check your inbox for an email from our lovely Societies Team. Please also feel free to get in touch with Dom Casoria, your VP Societies & Media with any questions you may have.
