What is Refreshers Fair?
The fair offers a chance for you to REFRESH your University experience:
join a Club, Society or Sports Team, volunteer to support a great cause and boost your
employability, campaign for issues that matter to you and your fellow students, and just as
importantly refresh your memories of great offers and discounts available at local and
national businesses.
Are you a SUBU Club or Society?
All the Refreshers' Fair bookings for the many SUBU clubs and societies are being organised
by our SUBU Student Opportunities team. Please contact them and they will help you organise
your pitch. The earlier you put your request in, the better your location will be!
