Who are Brighton Students' Union
Brighton Students' Union is a supportive, representative, and fully independent charity run by students, for students.
We're here for you every step of your journey as a student here at the University of Brighton.
Coming to University is always a unique and exciting experience for any student. We're dedicated to making sure that every one of our 18,000 students feel both supported and empowered. We do this by working alongside the University and ensuring that students are at the forefront of every major decision they take.
Some of the things we do (besides organising Freshers) include running vital campaigns & lobbying around the things you care about. Most recently, these include: COVID-19 Support, Lecture Capture, Hate Crime Awareness and much more. Looking for something fun to get involved with? We also support over 30+ student led societies and activities throughout the year!

Why should I get involved?
Freshers is one of the most memorable experiences you will have as a student. This year we have something for everyone whether you are into clubbing or activities, we have you covered.
Not only do we have 2 weeks full of jam-packed themed events, but we also have an alternative programme of daytime activities, virtual events and an explorer day with plenty of offers and deals for you to get your teeth into.
Will I need a Covid passport?
As it stands there are currently no legal requirements to ask for covid passports. However, everything we do will be inline with the government guidelines and restrictions. We will be keeping this FAQ updated at all times. If you have any queries, then please email us directly.
Who can come to Freshtival?
Freshtival 2021 is aimed towards both 1st and 2nd year students.
Rewind is for 2nd years and Reloaded is for our 1st years.
This is typically only available to The University of Brighton students, if you are a Sussex student and have accidently found yourself on this page then please follow
this link that takes you directly to your SU Freshers page.
Do 3rd party wristbands work to get into Brighton Freshtival?
NO. 3rd party wristbands do not allow you entry to any of our events. As a union we advise you to purchase BSU wristbands only and follow our main social pages for updates and information. 3rd party companies will always be selling wristbands around this time of year and we have no affiliation to these companies.
Top Tip: If you look out for the BSU logo as well as following any link on our socials you are sure to have the right tickets.
What procedures do you have in place to ensure Freshtival is Covid Safe?
All of our events will only take place in line with the government guidelines. We are working closely with all parties involved to ensure the safest and most enjoyable experience for everyone. We will also be offering some virtual events for those of you that would still prefer to stay online.
Your Safety
Please only attend our events if you are showing NO symptoms of the following.
The main symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are:
- A high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- A new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
- A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you have noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
I am self-isolating/ in quarantine will I still be able to take part?
If you happen to find yourself having to isolate or in quarantine during our freshers weeks fear not. We will still have some virtual activities for you to get involved with.
