Freshers Festival 2025 is back
The UK’s largest freshers fair is back and bigger than ever. Freshers Festival 2025 will electrify three major cities this September, bringing together tens of thousands of students to experience an unforgettable welcome to the academic year.
Kicking off in Glasgow on 16th September at Platform, rolling into London’s Business Design Centre on 20th September, and debuting in Manchester on 27th September at the iconic Manchester Central, each free festival is open to all college and university students (age 17+), regardless of where they study.
Organisers expect 10,000s students to attend the one-day extravaganzas packed with freebies and fun. Last year saw packed-out venues with thousands of students across two cities, and 2025 is set to raise the bar even higher.
Attendees can look forward to a feast of free treats and experiences. From free food and drink samples to epic games and unbeatable student deals, Freshers Festival offers something for everyone.
National and local brands will be out in force with interactive stalls, exclusive promotions, and hundreds of giveaways – think wild contests, music, photo booths, and chances to win everything from gadgets to shopping sprees. It’s not just about goodies: students can discover volunteer opportunities, grad jobs, internships, and meet student-friendly services all under one roof. This is a one-stop-shop for freshers to dive into student life, make new friends, and scoop up loads of freebies in the process.
Freshers Festival 2025 marks the event’s expansion, with Manchester joining the lineup alongside the flagship London and Glasgow festivals. “We’re thrilled to bring Freshers Festival to even more students this year,” says Graeme Barratt, Founder of Freshers Festival Group. “Our goal is to give every student – from freshers to postgrads – an incredible, free welcome experience. Thanks to our amazing partners and sponsors, we’re able to offer students a day of pure fun, valuable info for campus life, and countless freebies. After the record-breaking turnout last year, we know 2025 will be our biggest and best festival yet.”
Having previously collaborated with major brands like Google, Meta, Sony, Ray-Ban, and Sharpie, Freshers Festival has a track record of attracting top names eager to engage with Gen Z. The 2025 edition will feature 100+ exhibiting brands across tech, fashion, food, and media, including Floral Street, Hair Syrup, Hollywood Bowl, LadBible, Maki Ramen, Oh Polly, Post Office and so many more!
For students, it’s the ultimate freshers celebration – a day to indulge, connect, and kickstart the year with a bang.
