The Christmas Lights Switch On event will take place on Tuesday 21 November at Highfield Campus.
Hugely successful in previous years, the Christmas Lights Switch On has become an annual tradition offering both staff and students the chance to come together and appreciate the seasonal atmosphere.
Please note that, due to the high number of expected guests, children are not permitted to attend this event. So that everyone has a chance to enjoy the festive decorations, there will be a separate families day celebration held on 11 December.
Staff and students will receive invites from the Vice-Chancellor and Union President respectively, in the next few weeks. Our ever-popular market stalls will be back again this year, but there are limited spaces on offer. Those interested in hosting a stall should contact [email protected] and provide their details. Stalls should be Christmas-themed and are subject to approval by the Events team. The last date to register interest will be Monday 6 November. Please note the following important information –
Important information
- Stalls will be outside on the grassy area of the crescent, a trestle table will be provided
- Stalls cannot be expanded they need to remain the size of the table
- Stalls do not come with a cover, if you are bringing a cover please include this in your reply
