WHO ATTENDS EVENTS IN FRESHERS WEEK?
Freshers week events are of course predominantly attended by Freshers students, but also second and third years (who attend our returners fest, which is their equivalent to the Freshers Fest). All Freshers events typically require a student ID or another form of proof that you will be attending a university for entry, meaning the events are in a controlled and secure environment.
CAN I ATTEND A FRESHERS EVENT AND BRING A FRIEND WHO DOES NOT ATTEND ONE OF THE UNIVERSITIES?
Yes, but it depends. Most event organizers and venues allow friends to attend Freshers week parties with you providing they are of or around student age, but it’s best to check with them if you’re unsure.
WHAT ARE THE DRESS CODES FOR FRESHERS EVENTS?
Events in freshers week are generally more lenient on dress code as venues and door teams are made aware that attendees are in a new city for the first time. We highly recommend and encourage Freshers to dress up according to the event. For example, for our Freshers Zoo Party we want to see animal prints and safari hats all around.
