🎉 Lincoln Freshers Week 2025: The Ultimate Guide for New Students

Starting university is a huge moment — and Freshers Week is the perfect way to kick things off. If you’re heading to the University of Lincoln or Bishop Grosseteste University this September, here’s everything you need to know to make the most of Lincoln Freshers Week 2025.

🗓️ When is Lincoln Freshers Week 2025?

Lincoln Freshers Week usually takes place during the third week of September, just before term officially begins. Expect city events to start around Monday 15th September 2025, running right through the weekend.

🧳 What to Pack

Aside from your clothes and uni essentials, don’t forget:

• Fancy dress outfits (yes, you’ll need them — cowboys, togas, the works)

• Doorstop (for easy socialising in halls)

• Reusable water bottle (hydrate between parties)

• Extension leads and chargers

🍻 What’s On: Nights Out & Parties

Whether you’re more bar crawl than bass drop, Lincoln has something for everyone.

The Engine Shed

Lincoln’s biggest student venue, right on the University of Lincoln campus. Expect headliners, themed nights, and the infamous Quack Wednesdays.

Top tip: Get your wristbands early to avoid missing out.

Popworld, Void & Home

Popular with University of Lincoln & Bishop Grosseteste students — cheap drinks, themed rooms, and packed dance floors all week long.

The Freshers Fair

Held at both universities, this is where you’ll pick up freebies, learn about societies, and find your new gym, bank, or even takeaway of choice. Don’t skip it!
