Freshers Week in Lincoln kicks off Saturday 20 September to Saturday 27 September 2025 | university and city merge for a week of society sign‑ups, campus fairs, themed club nights, and bar crawls across town.
On campus, the Students' Union runs four key venues under one wristband:
The Engine Shed | club nights, live acts, society fairs, comedy, weekly nights like Quack!
The Platform | live music, themed performances
Towers | student bar with food, drinks deals, pub quizzes
The Swan | relaxed pub vibe, board games, open mic nights
“Freshers in the City” wristband lets you dive into Lincoln’s student nightlife—think silent discos, UV paint parties, foam raves, bar crawls, and more at city venues including Home nightclub, Craft, Void, Carousel, and others. Expect queue‑jump, entry across venues, food and drink discounts, and multiple themes across the week.
Key city‑wide nights to mark:
Wild in the City Bar Crawl | kicks off at Craft and Carousel, moves through Trebles and ends at Home nightclub—animal fancy dress encouraged.
UV Paint Party, Foam Party, Silent Disco, Glitter Party, and more keep things wild.
Home nightclub anchors the city scene with multi‑room parties: UV Paint Party, Silent Disco, Glitter Party, Foam Party, Superbull, and more—all included with the wristband.
For early evenings or more relaxed nights, city-centre favourites like Trebles, Red5, Walkabout, and Craft offer affordable drinks, friendly crowds, and pre-club social warm-ups.
Freshers' Week in Lincoln is where the campus connects with the city, day meets night, societies meet neon paint—and where first weeks turn into lifelong memories.
