West Fest
West Fest is your welcome festival as you begin your journey at UWS. You can expect to find games and fun activities as well as stalls with useful information about the wide range of support available at UWS. There will also be information on development opportunities and extra-curricular activities, and other interesting things to engage with at uni. West Fest runs at the same time as your Student Union Fresher’s Fair so you can visit both and snag all your freebies in one day!
