Cup Levy Scheme
Last year, we experienced significant cup wastage at Freshers, with many reusable cups being incorrectly discarded or lost. To address this, we have decided to adopt a more sustainable approach this year. Upon purchasing your first drink, a £1 levy will be added to the drink’s price. However, as long as you return your cup to the bar when ordering a new drink, you will not be charged this fee again. You can then exchange your cup for a souvenier at the end of the night.

Photography & Filming
