Three days of festive fun

Last week, our campus was transformed into a winter wonderland for the annual 'Christmas on Campus' festivities.

The three-day programme of events was free and open to the public from Thursday 7 to Saturday 9 December, including an Enactus Farmers’ Market, Great Christmas Bake Off, Goldilocks and the Three Bears Panto and more. Campus was adorned with an ice rink and carousel which certainly proved popular!

The Christmas on Campus events also formed part of the University of Leicester Students’ Union ‘12 Days of Christmas’ campaign, which kicked off on Thursday 30 November and runs until Friday 15 December in association with the Leicester Services Partnership and Here For U. The programme of events have included a personalised postcard booth, sustainable crafting including wreath-making, gingerbread decorating, festive film and charity days and incredible prize and food giveaways.

Here is a slideshow of images and video from this year's Christmas on Campus programme:
