Freshers Fair(s)
Every year, LUSU hosts our very own Freshers Fair at Lancaster University. It’s an opportunity for new (and existing) students to meet new people and learn about all of the things Lancaster and LUSU have to offer. Meet societies and clubs and learn more about how LUSU helps students.
This year, we’re splitting the fair into two events.
Active: Sport & Active Clubs/Socs
Wednesday 1st October 2025 12-4pm, The Great Hall (North Campus)
LUSU hosts a wide range of sporting and competitive events throughout the year, that wouldn’t be possible without the sports clubs who compete in them. From BUCS to Roses, sport is part of us.
On 1st October, you can find out just how many sports clubs and active societies we have here at LUSU. From American Football to Korfball!
You can learn more about Sport at LUSU here. For sport updates, follow @lusuport. Accessible Quiet Hour: 11am-noon
Discover: Societies, Culture & Special Interest
Thursday 2nd October 2025 12-4pm, The Great Hall (North Campus)
Societies are a huge part of what makes Lancaster so special. Which is why we’re proud to facilitate over 160 of them!
We have societies for almost anything. If you like it, we’ve probably got it. Interests range from theatre and music, all the way to Pokémon and Harry Potter. And they’re a great way to make friends and meet new people.
On 2nd October, you can join us and discover all things societies at LUSU. Get ready to delve into our host of clubs and meet our student media teams!
You can learn more about societies here. For societies events and updates, follow @lususocieties. Accessible Quiet Hour: 11am-noon
The Fresher’s Fair is also your chance to get to know LUSU!
Come and meet the different teams here at LUSU like our Advice Service, LUSU Shop, LUSU Green, LUSU Living, and more!
If you’re looking for a little bit of a taster of what different clubs and societies do, then don’t worry! Throughout our Fresher’s Fairs, clubs will be hosting demos in the Jack Hylton Room adjacent to the main event. You’ll be able to catch our societies in action throughout the day in here! From Kickboxing to Salsa!
Demos
Other Companies
At our Fresher’s Fair, you’ll also get to meet companies from within the Lancaster community and beyond. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the wider local circles, connect with larger brands and (maybe the best bit) grab some freebies!
This year’s Freshers’ Fair is sponsored by Dominos.
