  • Free entry to Arena Nights is only guaranteed before 23:00 on Tuesday/Thursday and 22:00 on Saturday!

However, in this circumstance, refunds must be claimed by Monday 15 September and we will go through a process with the University to double check.

Important Notice

As The SU, we are organising the only OFFICIAL Freshers' Week for University of Bath students but there are other organisations out there that are not affiliated with us that will put on their own Freshers' events. Please be advised that we are in no way affiliated with any of these companies and cannot vouch for safety or value for money at their events.

Here are a few tips to help you identify whether the events are organised by us or not:

  1. Are they selling tickets or wristbands already? If so, they are not affiliated with us as our wristbands do not go on sale until Monday 1 September.
  2. Only follow social media links and branding from our official website.
  3. Be mindful of the branding used. Are they using our logo or Freshers’ Week branding? If not, again, it is unlikely they are affiliated with us.

So please be vigilant when purchasing tickets/wristbands for events or taking on jobs through other Freshers' organisations. If you are in any doubt about whether or not an event, page, or post is associated with us, please do email us on: sumarketing@bath.ac.uk.
