Christmas Light Switch On

On Monday 17 November, between 14:30 and 17:30, we'll be throwing a Christmas extravaganza on campus to mark the start of the festive season.

Christmas is an annual festival, commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world! Traditionally, gifts are exchanged with family, people enjoy carol singing, and they usually construct a tree to decorate their living rooms.

On the 17th, head to the Atrium from 14:30 to pick up the perfect gift at our very own festive market with over 30 stalls brought to you by our students, staff members, and the local community. After, join friends and colleagues at Queen’s Court from 16:00 to enjoy live music by the GeO Gospel Choir, festive food and drink, and our big Christmas light switch-on event at 16:30.
