September is just around the corner and along with it comes Freshers week. New and returning students can join in on various activities within and around the university during the first week of term to ease them back into student life.
Each year Stirling boasts a wide variety of events, with buzzing student nightlife and a close-knit campus, there is something for everyone.
2024 is no different as Stirling’s campus has already announced a wider array of events. Most events require a ticket. To purchase these or see more details of any event visit the Stirling Students’ Union website.
What’s on?
Welcome Week 2024 kicks off with “Rock Your Docs Off” at Venue which is on campus. This event runs from September 6-7 from 10pm to 2am. Stirling’s Rock and Metal Society will be hosting and providing the indie and rock tunes.
Campus tours will be held on September 7 and 8 between noon and 2pm, starting in the Atrium.
Everyone’s favourite Freebie Fayre is back in the Atrium this year. It will be held on September 9 from 9am to 4pm.
On September 10 between 10am and 5pm a plant sale will be held at Queens Court.
For those wondering what clubs and societies Stirling has to offer, drop by the Societies Fayre on 10 September. This runs from noon until 4pm in the Atrium.
A sober ceilidh is a great way to mingle and meet new friends – plus a ceilidh is always fun to attend. This will be held on September 10 in Venue from 8pm to 11pm.
September 13 brings an alternative fayre to the university. It will be held in the stretch tent on Queens Court from 11am to 4pm.
Off campus
Welcome Week events aren’t limited to just the campus. Fancy a night out in the town? Stirling has you covered.
Freshers Invasion are hosting a one-night only freshers event at Fubar on September 19. The club will be open from 11pm to 3am with tickets now available online.
Many pubs around the city centre offer student discounts, so remember to bring a valid student ID to save some cash on your pres!
For most night-time events, especially off-campus, it’s wise to bring ID as many venues have 18+ restrictions where alcohol is served.
