We understand that it can be confusing in the run up to Welcome Week as Bristol is saturated with many different events claiming to be ‘Official’ Freshers’ events. Our official Welcome Programme will be stamped with our logo and have events that take place at The Students’ Union and also in city centre venues we have worked with for a number of years. The official Welcome Week is run by The Students’ Union at UWE, which is a non-profit organisation, and organised on our behalf by Next Play Group. We try to ensure value for money is delivered at every Welcome event - not just another club night.
While some non-official events will surely be enjoyable, please take care when buying tickets to avoid disappointment. If you are unsure, please contact us via [email protected] .   𝐈’𝐌 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐀 𝐔𝐖𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓, 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐈 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄? Tickets will only be available to UWE Bristol students, but you can come if your friend who is a UWE Bristol student buys your ticket.   𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐅 𝐈 𝐃𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐔𝐖𝐄? We are happy to refund your ticket if you are no longer coming to UWE. To be eligible for a refund, you will need to send proof to [email protected]. This can be a screenshot of your acceptance into another university or alternatively, proof of being declined by UWE. You can get proof through the UCAS website by logging into your account: https://www.ucas.com/students/apply 𝐈 𝐃𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄, 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐈 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐀 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐍𝐃? Please check all event details carefully before purchasing a ticket as our event partners can’t offer a refund if events are going ahead as planned. For ticket purchases to individual events, you will be able to claim a refund if the date of an event changes, or in the event of a cancellation. You are not entitled to a refund if you change your mind about going or realise you can't go anymore. If you no longer wish to attend the event, there is an option to transfer/sell your ticket to another student through FIXR. Remember, you can only transfer tickets to other UWE Bristol students. If you are purchasing a ticket or wristband from someone else please ensure they are using the Transfer Feature to avoid scams or being charged too much. 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 & 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬: All discounts need proof of wristband purchase via email ticket confirmation or through past events on the FIXR App. Wristband also needs to be in your name for deals to be valid!   𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐓&𝐂𝐒 We never oversell an event; however, sometimes people with tickets don’t show up and we have to leave people without tickets waiting in the cold. If you plan to be at an event, please arrive within an hour of doors opening to guarantee your entry. After that point, we’ll start letting everyone else in and the venue may be full when you arrive.

All events are 18+. Please bring valid age ID (Passport/Driving Licence). Failure to produce one of these two will result in you being refused entry without refund. Photocopies are unacceptable.

Please note: All events are closed events for UWE Students and their guests only. Failure to produce a valid student card or proof of attendance will result in lack of admittance without refund.

All venues reserve the right to eject and refuse entry to customers at their discretion. Reasons include, but are not limited to: violence, suspicion of drugs, intoxication.

The Students' Union at UWE operates a Safer Spaces Policy

Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be resold. Searching is a condition of entry. Line-up, set times and billing subject to change.
