Welcome Fair

The Welcome Fair is usually the single biggest opportunity you have to promote your group and sign up members.  

Approximately 10,000 people attend and enthusiasm abounds as new students look to sign up for familiar interests and new experiences.  

33% of all memberships are sold in the week following Welcome Fair and a massive 70% in the 3 weeks following the Fair. 

To get the most out of your Welcome Fair experience keep an eye on our Training Calendar for live training sessions or head on over to the Development Portal for self-led learning. 

Give it a Go!

Give it a Go! provides a fun and friendly way for new students to get involved with Clubs, Societies, Volunteering Projects and Networks, allowing them to ‘road test’ groups before committing to membership.  

The scheme is run twice a year – once during Welcome and then again at Refreshers. We’ll send you joining details in the run-up to these times.  

We widely promote all sessions under the Give it a Go! banner to the student body, give you a dedicated place on our website to list your event and provide you with branding assets to help promote your event via social media.
