The FW21 Wristband is the only official University of Bath Freshers' Week Wristband that gives you access to the campus based exclusive events for University of Bath Freshers. The wristband gives you access to our flagship arena nights as well as priority access to other exclusive FW events. View the what's on page to see the range of events.

The wristband can only be purchased once you’ve registered with the University and your SU account has been activated. They are on sale now only from this webpage.

Important COVID Safety Information

Please note we are taking extra safety measures to ensure the safety of our staff and guests, so to attend any nightclub or arena events you will need to pass a COVID check prior to entry. All COVID Check events are highlighted on the what’s on timetable.

Fast Track Entry

To enable students the quickest possible entry into the venues each night we will be able to do COVID checks upon wristband collection. This is only relevant for those who have either of the following:

---

---

Those who can show either of the above will get a different coloured fast-track wristband which will be valid for the whole week and will allow quicker access to the events.

General Entry

If you are not able to show the above on wristband collection you will be required to show the following upon entry each night and will be given a different coloured wristband.

• Proof of a negative Lateral Flow test through the NHS App
• Proof of a negative Lateral Flow test through an NHS text message. (This can be obtained by submitting results on the NHS website and will not require a NHS number)

You will still get access to the same event you will just enter through a different queue.

Unfortunately we are not currently able to verify non-EU vaccination certificates so make sure you pick up some lateral flow tests on arrival.

If government policy changes around this issue, we will update our website and social media channels to inform you of any changes. We will not be able to offer any refunds based on government guidance changes unless the event is cancelled.

We understand this isn’t an ideal situation, so we want to take the opportunity to tell you why we’ve made this decision. The SU is a registered charity, and we rely on donations and income from places like our bars. For example, every time you purchase a burger or a pint from us, that money gets reinvested into providing you with the best experience possible. However, without these essential avenues of income, due to the pandemic, we’re having to be a bit more careful with our funding. Our promise to you is that all the money we receive from the wristbands will be reinvested back into your Freshers' events. We want to offer you the best Freshers’ experience possible and to do that, we hope you can understand why we can’t offer refunds in this instance. The SU is made up of all of us- we keep it going, and with your support, we can build a better space for us all to enjoy. With your help, our SU can thrive.

Lateral flow tests are free to pick up in packs of 7 on campus.

Wristbands are non refundable
