Book early for Students’ Union Freshers’ Fair

THE University of Sheffield Students’ Union is urging businesses across the region to register early for the annual Students’ Union Freshers’ Fair.

Last year’s Fresher’s Fair saw almost 10,000 new students visit the Student’s Union Octagon Building in just one day, making it one of the year’s most successful Students’ Union events and an ideal platform for businesses to reach out to the city’s newest residents.

This year’s event will take place on September 28 but with demand for places already high, businesses are being reminded to book early.

“The Freshers’ Fair is a great opportunity for companies, both local and national, to speak directly to our new students as they start to make their own independent living decisions for the first time,” said Students’ Union Senior Advertising and Sponsorship Coordinator James Slater-Purcell.

“And, of course, it’s a fantastic opportunity to address the returning students who come along to the fair to see what goodies and freebies they can bag!

“It might seem early to be thinking about a September event but we are looking to get both local and national companies on board for the fair and to make it as vibrant and exciting as possible, helping us to keep the crown as the national Number One Student Union for student experience!”

For further information or to register for a place at the Freshers’ Fair contact James via email at j.slater-purcell@sheffield.ac.uk or call 01142 228541.
