You’ve made it through an exciting first week of university, and now it’s time to celebrate with one last event to round off Welcome Week.

We've been saving the best 'til last - join us for an unforgettable afternoon and evening packed with classic fairground fun, sweet treats, great vibes, and non-stop music. This is your Students' Union Festival!

Rides include: The Miami, Big Wheel, Dodgems, and Twister, so whether you're after thrills, views, or friendly competition, we’ve got you covered.
Game stalls where you can play for free and win real fun fair prizes - because who doesn’t love going home with a cuddly toy or two?
Sweet van selling hot drinks, candy floss, and delicious crepes to fuel your fun.
Bar on-site serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Just bring your valid ID for alcohol purchases.
Live DJ bringing the energy all day long with late summer sounds, EDM bangers, and the biggest chart hits to keep the party going.

This is not your average fun fair—it’s the ultimate celebration to wrap up your first week at UEL, surrounded by new friends, great music, and that buzzing campus energy.

Entry is free for everyone who attends the Students' Union Fair (10:00–16:00). You’ll receive ride tokens there to use later in the day. Can't make it? You can still join the fun by purchasing tickets on this page from 16:00 on the day. Ticket availability is not guaranteed, and tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis. 

Let’s send the week off with a bang!
