Advertising With Us: Welcome Fair

Welcome Fair Bristol SU

Every September we welcome 14,000 new students to start life at University of Bristol.

Welcome is a crucial time for students, most new students are discovering life outside their family home and finding a new home in Bristol. They will be developing brand loyalties that will last throughout University and beyond. Those returning are rediscovering the city and solidifying their affiliation with brands they love, or discovering new ones.

We’re situated at the heart of students’ University experience, meaning we’re perfectly placed to recommend your business. We strive to promote local businesses and charities, which is why we provide them with a discount on the majority of our advertising offerings.

"We found your events team the easiest we’ve worked with, and the spaces were versatile and great for a dance event - we can see the event growing and perhaps use more of the spaces. We are so pleased with how it went and would love to book dates for next year."
