Caribbean Society

  • Logo january 2020

Description

The University of Bristol Caribbean Society is dedicated to sharing the unique and colourful culture of the Caribbean! Started in 2019, we are aiming to continue getting in touch with Caribbean students (and those of Caribbean heritage) across Bristol that wish to get in touch with their culture, especially being so far away from home (and from the beach!). 

All interested students are welcome to take part in our events in which everyone is immersed in the sweet calypso Caribbean vibes. This is the time to enjoy the food, music, dancing, and fun of our region! Aside from this, we hope to educate all on the unique characteristics of the Caribbean and highlight the beaming Caribbean community that exists in Bristol.

Membership for this year is just £5, and you can stay updated through our Instagram and Facebook! Hope to see you soon!

If you have any questions or would like more information you can email us at uobcaribbeansociety@gmail.com
