This festive season, we’re holding two exciting events for the University community – our annual Christmas Lights Switch On taking place on Tuesday 26 November and our Family Christmas event taking place on Monday 9 December.
Hugely successful in previous years, the Christmas Lights Switch On has become an annual tradition, offering staff and students the opportunity to come together and appreciate the seasonal atmosphere. A limited number of complimentary drinks are available by registering here, so book early to avoid disappointment.
Join us and enjoy festive music, visit the Christmas market, and get into the Christmas mood.
The schedule for the evening is as follows:
- 16:00: Browse the Christmas market for gifts and festive foods on the Redbrick and around the crescent area
- 16:30: Listen to Christmas carols performed by our brass band
- 18:00: Watch the Christmas Lights Switch On – the lights will be turned on from the balcony of Building 40
On the night, to claim your complimentary drink ensure that you check in presenting your QR code to receive a token which can be exchanged from 16:00.
Join the Facebook event here, and search #UoSfestive on Twitter and Instagram to keep up to date.
Please note, due to the high number of expected guests, children are not permitted to attend the Lights Switch On, so we encourage students and staff with children to attend our annual Family Christmas event, including Santa, children’s entertainer and fireworks on Monday 9 December.
Don’t forget to send us your messages and photos during and following the events!
