Clubbers of the week: Freshers’ Week 2021

Call your mum, you’re famous!


Every university has one, but I think no one quite does Freshers’ Week like a Lincoln student. You’re all a little bit mad, and who can blame you after waiting for so long to get back in the clubs? You’re eager to get in and show your new uni mates what you’re made of. And lucky for us, no nightclub is without its own photographers, ready to catch your highs, lows and all that lies in between.
