With all our recreational activities being free thanks to The Big Deal, it gives you the opportunity to not only continue doing what you enjoyed back home, but to try new and exciting things you may never have considered before.

We have everything from theatre trips, Thorpe park, escape rooms, cinema tickets, demonstrations in mixology to DJ-ing, plus a whole lot more - there really is something for everyone.

Getting involved in lots of different activities opens up new experiences and friendship groups that you may not have found ordinarily. You can even learn transferable skills that will benefit you in your future employment, start a hobby for life, or maybe just help pass the time and give you a welcome break from your studies.

You can sign-up to an activity by checking our What's On page and seeing what is available. If you see an activity you want to do, then book your place by booking a ticket on the individual event page. Activities are updated throughout the year on our website, so make sure you check back regularly.

If you have an ability or skill you want to share with others or would like us to put on activities you can’t find elsewhere, then get in touch and help us offer more by emailing surecactivities@bnu.ac.uk.
