Event Description

Big Welcome

BIG Welcome Fair

Our Big Welcome Fair is back, and it's bigger than ever!
Wednesday 15 September 2021 11am - 4pm Millennium Point and Gopsal Street, City Centre Campus

 

The BCUSU Big Welcome Fair gives you the best opportunity to find out all there is to know about your Students’ Union, University and how Birmingham has plenty for you to get involved with!

You can join one of our many student groups and societies, as well as being able to gather important uni information. Oh, and while you're here you can grab shed-loads of freebies (literally!), have photo opportunities, meet your BCUSU family, sample some of the best food that the city has to offer, and enjoy the various activities and entertainment that will be going on throughout the day.

Please ensure to follow the University's Covid-19 rules on campus before attending the fair.


Free Transport to the Big Welcome Fair from City South Campus

Don't worry if you're based at City South Campus; we've arranged free transport for you to get to the Big Welcome Fair! The pickup point at City South will be on Harborne Road. The drop-off point at City Centre Campus will be on Cardigan Street, right in the middle of the Big Welcome Fair between Millennium Point and Gopsal Street - don't forget to check out both parts of the fair! The buses will depart from the same place you arrived. If you need any help finding your way once you arrive, just look out for a member of the BCUSU Welcome Team in a bright blue t-shirt!
