About this Event

The University Graduate School supports postgraduate researchers (PGRs) at the University of Birmingham with a variety of academic, social and wellbeing activities throughout the year. Look out for our other events in our PGR Collection!

The holiday season is approaching, and with the recent snowfall blanketing campus, it feels extra magical this year! Join UGS Scholars Holly and Fujia for a festive afternoon of fun, crafts, and cheer on Wednesday 4th December, as we explore the best of the University's Christmas on Campus. This event is the perfect chance to take a break from your studies, enjoy the holiday spirit, and meet fellow PGRs in a fun, relaxed setting.

The activities will include:

At 3:30pm, meet us at Old Joe, the iconic campus clock tower, to kick off the festivities.
Visit the Christmas Marquee – meet Santa, enjoy some Christmas crafts, and visit the festive photo booth.
Stroll through the Artisan Christmas Markets – discover unique handmade gifts and treats.
At 5pm, gather for the Christmas Lights Switch-On – see campus sparkle in full festive glory!
End the event with a ride on the Christmas Wheel for a stunning view of the lit-up campus.

Optional Extra: Our event will finish just in time for those who wish to attend the University Carol Service at 6:00pm. Please note that this is not part of the official event but is a great way to continue the festivities!
