QUIZ NIGHT
Our Fresher's Week kicked off with a Quiz Night at the Faith and Spirituality Centre and the restarting of the Christian Union ahead of the 2022/23 academic year. The event provided an entertaining night full of suspense with the quiz being decided on the final round of questions. Overall was fantastic to see both returning and new students come along and enjoy a chill night
