Freshers’ Week is the ultimate time of year – where almost anything goes and you probably won’t remember what you did in the morning. There are tons of events, and picking which are actually decent can be difficult, so we have helped you out a bit.

Here’s a list of all the highlights in the first two weeks, so you can pick what you actually want to go to and avoid disappointment.

One BIG Welcome Party

Hosted at your very own Students’ Union, chart bangers will positively radiate from the legendary venue. This’ll kick off Freshers’ in style.

Propaganda

18th September | Tickets TBC | The Old Fire Station

You might have this in your hometown, but so far Bournemouth has been deprived of a Propaganda presence, until now. Cheap drinks and indie jams will ring in your ears all night, so look forward to the start of something new.

Abandoned warehouse rave

19th September | Tickets | Location TBC

Five stages of deep tech, minimal, deep house and psy-trance – this is something very unlike Bournemouth. Details are coming out the day before the event, so keep your eyes peeled for this ultimate freshers rave.

Known all over the country, this event is the furthest to get to, but it is worth your while. It doesn’t have it’s reputation for nothing.

The Student Garden Party

One you won’t forget soon, the student garden party is always a calendar highlight. With headliners to be announced, four stages will provide for eager students, with enough street food to satisfy your cravings. Day and night, you’ll be going for a while.

Freshers house party

24th Sep | Tickets | standard £7 final release £10 | Cameo

We all know Cameo is a must in Freshers’, let alone for the rest of the year, so take your Vinyl virginity early. Riot pole dancers (what), free pizza and giant games are promised in this Project X style rave.

Dedicated to Drake

26th September | Tickets £3 | The Old Fire Station

It’s literally just loads of Drake.

Freshers festival | SIGMA

29th September | Tickets £12 | Cameo

At our fav Wednesday night spot, the likes of SIGMA, Yungen and YXNG BANE are playing the set which could possibly be the highlight of Freshers’. Put this in my basket.

UV jump off

29th September | Tickets £7 | Cameo

Bragging as the South Coast’s largest and only UV jumpsuit party, you’ll need spray paint for this one. It’s notorious in Freshers’ Week, as lookalike forensic scientists parade the streets ready for all Cameo has to offer. Inflatables and glow sticks for the many not the few here, so grab a ticket whilst they last.
