Leeds Trinity Freshers week is run by your Students' Union. Designed to show you round the local area, save you money and help you make loads of new friends.
- We are a not for profit charity led by elected students, here to make your time at Trinity the best it can be -
£60 Standard Wristband [For those that don't want to miss out]
The wristband is an all inclusive offer for all paid activities during freshers week. It also gives you priority over limited stock & event entry.
- Why the wristband? -
Wristband Travel, because students have told us that they wanted the Union to take the worry out of transport.
The average Uber from Trinity campus to Leeds City centre can cost anything from £15-20 ex surcharge (£11.50 Arrow Taxi App). It can also be a bit stressful if you have met a group of friends 6 or larger. Do you get put three in two taxi's? Maybe you wanted to stick together but your taxi's arrive at different times and you spend the night trying to find each other. Students have told us that they wanted the Union to help them make friends and take the worry out of transport during freshers’ week. As a result, we book large 80-seater buses that ferry hundreds of you at the same time. Sing, cheer, chat & stick together. **Exclusive to wristband holders.
Wristband Food, because time is better spent meeting new friends!
You have just left home and sometimes it takes time to develop your culinary skills. You might have a fridge full of food or plan on eating from our campus outlet, the SU Shop & StUdio. Whatever you decide it might take time to cook & clean. Time, we think, is better spend meeting new friends and having fun. Students have told us they would like the Union to take the hassle out of cooking so they can concentrate on other things during fresher’s week. So, we have five free food events, Monday to Friday. We kick off with Dominos and end with some Caribbean style food on Friday during 'Feel good Friday' **Exclusive to wristband holders.
Wristband Activities, because you will meet likeminded friends at each event!
This is the important one! Student's tell us they don't just want to drink and party. So, 50% of all freshers’ activities will be non-alcoholic. We do our best to bring activities to campus during freshers’ week for you. We also take you to Leeds and Horsforth to show you the ropes. You will be here for three years and some Alumni have told us that they regret not seeing more of Horsforth. So, we have planned a range of activities to take place on campus, Leeds city centre & more locally in Horsforth. Events are available to everyone however, some cost to participate whilst others are free. **Every activity on the wristband line up will show the cost. Which, of course, is included in the wristband.
