A number of events are taking place at central accommodation locations during Welcome Week. These are open to all students living in university accommodation or partner accommodation.
Walking buses will be provided to get to the following events at the Vale Village:
- Saturday 28th September – Freshers Finale
- Wednesday 2nd October – Open Air cinema
You’ll find details below on where to meet to join the Walking bus for each event.
Locations furthest from the events will require an actual bus trip but again we will meet you and show you to the bus stops and make sure you get to the event in good time.
We recognise that students like to choose their own departure times, so you can leave the event at whatever time suits you and make your own way home. If you are uncertain about travelling back to your hall, speak to one of the event staff. Guild Residence Life team and Welcome team staff will be available at each event.
