Save the date - Christmas cheer is coming to campus

We’re ringing in the festive season with some exciting news to share! 

Celebrating UoB’s 125th anniversary you can expect a jam-packed programme of festive events, activities and loads of fun with extra sparkle! Mark your calendars for Wednesday 3 December 2025 it’s going to be one to remember. 

Think twinkling lights, a giant tree, Christmas Carousel, crafty festive fun, food market, carol singers, and a special guest dressed in red suit (Santa’s making a stop at UoB!) plus free giveaways and much more! 

The magic will take place on main campus with the highlight being our annual Christmas lights switch-on by Santa as you’ll see Old Joe sparkle. 

So, grab your friends, wrap up warm and get ready for a day full of festive cheer. 

More info coming soon so keep an eye out on your student inbox or head over to the What’s on for students page for updates!
