The Summer Festival, in partnership with SUSU begins today! From today until Friday 18 June, you can join us on campus for a range of activities and events.
What is happening?
From farm animals to water sports and everything in between – there’s something for everyone! Remember, all our events are completely free (unless stated otherwise in the event description). Here are just some of our highlights:
- Water sports: Ever wanted to try water sports? Well now is your chance! Join the Sport & Wellbeing team and try paddle boarding, windsurfing or even a RIB ride experience.
- Mucky Bucket Farm: The animals are back! Do we need to say anymore? Come and visit them on Monday 7 June outside Building 38!
