Lunchtime on Monday 3rd December saw the brand new Bristol SU Living Room open its doors for the very first time. A brand new space on the fourth floor of Senate House - the heart of campus - designed to create a space to relax, socialise and promote a sense of community.
Throughout December, student groups hosted all kinds of events from bake sales to Christmas card making, knitting to puzzling, film screenings to stress ball making and much, much more.
