University isn’t just about lectures and deadlines. It’s also about finding your community, your passions, and maybe even your next obsession. Time to spice up your uni life with weird hobbies, new besties, and group chats that never sleep.
Enter: The Societies Fair.
A glorious maze of over 120 student-led society stalls, humans in matching hoodies, suspicious amounts of tote bags and enough niche interests to explore all day long.
Come chat with society committee members who are legally required to be friendly. Ask questions like “what even is lacrosse?” and “can I join 5 societies at once?” (yes), and accidentally sign up for something life-changing – or at least something with snacks!
You can expect:
- Free stuff
- Snacks
- People who say “no experience needed!” and actually mean it
Whether you’re into film, philosophy, Kpop, hot drinks, campaigns… the list goes on and on – This is the place to find your people!
So show up, get curious, and get chaotic!! Every great uni story starts with “so I joined this society…”
Please note that the last half-hour 15:30 – 16:00 will be quiet time with reduced noise in order for a more accessible environment.
(If you have any accessibility needs and/or you feel you may need support navigating the event, please just make a member of the SU Team aware upon arrival – we’ll be more than happy to guide you through it. Alternatively, feel free to contact us in advance at union.societies@uea.ac.uk )
No tickets are required for this event but please bring your campus card! You can just drop in whenever suits you best!
