We hope you’re looking forward to Freshers Fair tomorrow! Below is some key information about the event, so make sure to read through it before you arrive.
Where is the entrance to Freshers Fair?
The entrance to Freshers Fair can be found around the back of Building 42 on Highfield campus, we call it the ‘Below Deck’ entrance. There will be lots of signs on the day to direct you to the entrance! Once in the fair, it is a one-way route only. Should you need to leave the fair early please speak to a member of staff for the best route to exit by.
Will there be a queue?
Yes! We have over 5,000 students attending and a very awkward building.😊 So there may be long queues to enter Freshers Fair and at different stages throughout the fair. Some of the queuing will be outside and it doesn’t look like the weather is going to be kind so please come prepared for rain.
What time do I need to arrive?
Please arrive at Freshers Fair for the timeslot you have booked on your ticket. For example, if you have booked 09:00 – 11:00, this is the time you need to enter the fair. Remember, once you have entered Freshers Fair you can take as long as you need to visit all the stalls. You don’t need to complete the whole fair within your timeslot!
Can I change my entry timeslot?
Unfortunately, as tickets for Freshers Fair are now sold out you are unable to swap your ticket to another time.
What if I miss my time slot?
If you miss your timeslot for any reason, please come and speak to a member of SUSU staff (they will be in a burgundy t-shirt) they will advise whether to join the queue anyway or whether to come back to the open session at 3pm.
What do I need to be able to enter?
Please bring your digital event ticket and your student ID. Your event ticket can be found in your confirmation email, or under your ‘Order History’ at boxoffice.susu.org.
Is there an accessible route for this event?
Yes, a map of the accessible route can be viewed here: Freshers Fair Accessible Route (PDF).
My friend hasn’t got a ticket, can they attend with me?
No, unfortunately as tickets are now sold out and the event is at maximum capacity, tickets won’t be available on the door. But please do let your friend know that they will be able to come to the open session at 3pm as tickets aren’t required then.
What else…
We also have stalls on our Redbrick area and a Fresher Market in Building 40 that don’t require tickets.
Have a great time and grab loads of freebies!
