Do you love a charity shop? Can you often be found with a tote bag sorting through racks of pre-loved clothing? Then this tour is for you! Follow our Freshers' Week Captains as they show you most of the charity shops in the city centre and spend a little time in each one looking for your next bargain!
This event is free to attend and open to all students - just turn up - you do not need a wristband to attend! However, you may be required to check in upon arrival so please bring your student card with you.
Important
Please do not bring food and drink on this tour as some charity shops we are visiting do not permit this. Captains will make sure we maintain respectful behaviour during the tour so please cooperate with them. On this note, each shop is expecting students for 15 minutes at a time, captains will let you know when you will be moving to the next shop so all you have to do is follow their lead!
The number of people visiting each shop at a time does need to be limited, so captains may split up the group into smaller groups and take alternative routes. This is to make sure the shops are not overwhelmed, and Health and Safety requirements are adhered to. Please bear with Captains as they work to make the tour safe and fun for everyone!
Accessibility Information – What can I expect from this event?
Tours do not have a limited number of participants who can turn up, so the meeting point may be busy. However, the maximum tour group size is 15, so the group may be split up at the tour start. There could be a high level of noise from the city, which gets busy with large groups of people at times.
Tours will involve walking in a group with Captains and students and going into a variety of charity shops. You do not need to make purchases in any of the shops. You may wish to talk to others on the tour. You will not be expected to speak to anyone if you do not wish to.
If you need a break, then please let a Captain know. If you wish to leave the tour, you may do so, you do not need to inform a Captain but can speak to them if you have any concerns or queries before you leave.
The route for this tour is predominantly flat and does not involve steep paths.
