Welcome Week is just around the corner and the Guild has put together an amazing programme of events.
We’ve rounded up some of our top picks below, but you can see the full Welcome Week events line-up via the Guild’s site. Some of the events are proving so popular – such as the outdoor cinema and Bongo’s Bingo – they’ve sold out. #HelloLivUni

90s vs 00s club night
Baby Spice or Nelly? Hit Me Baby One More Time or Ms. Jackson? You decide who wins the battle of the decades at the 90s vs 00s club night. Dress up in your best 90s and 00s fashion – we’re thinking chokers, puffer jackets and anything that featured in a Destiny Child’s video – and dust off those MC Hammer inspired dance moves.
