Your Guide to Refreshers 2025
We are so excited to introduce our annual Refreshers – an opportunity for you to try something fresh or discover somewhere new in the city!
We’ve got loads in store for you over the next couple of weeks, from a Refreshers Fair to the return of our Give it a Go! Series 🎆
Whatever fits your refreshers mood…
Refreshers Fair
Join us on Wednesday 15 January in the Anson Rooms from 12:00-17:00.
This is a fresh opportunity to discover your new favourite Bristol business, plus get freebies from big names like Domino's Pizza🍕. Refreshers is also a great introduction to the city and University life for students who may have missed the festivities during Welcome, or those who joined in the new year!
Meet a fantastic array of local businesses, organisations and brands to help you enjoy your time in Bristol 🏙️.
Give it a Go Returns
We put on our Give it a Go! series at the beginning of each term, offering various taster sessions for our student groups (including sports clubs).
From Kitesurfing to Ariel Hoop and Radio – you will be able to explore your interests and find a community full of like-minded people in so many ways. You can book a Give it a Go! event right here!
With over 400 student groups, sports clubs, and societies – one of the highest numbers of any SU in the country – there is always something for everyone to try, no matter what your interests. But, it can be a bit overwhelming to decide what to get involved with, and whether you should sign up before you’ve even tried it out! Check out the opportunities here 🏅
This series is a great chance to try a student group out before committing to a membership, even if you’ve never tried or heard of it before. No matter how long you’ve been with us in Bristol, it’s never too late to find your perfect student group or society 🌟
Looking Ahead
Throughout the term, Bristol SU have organised several other great events you can get involved in! Lean into the go-getter mood this January and check out our day trips! We have planned trips to some of the UK’s most iconic sites, including Stonehenge and the home of William Shakespeare.
What’s more, we have an exciting term ahead for elections at Bristol SU! In February, TB2 elections will be held where you can decide who represents the student body next academic year!
