Brand new Liverpool Freshers Fair launching in the city centre this September

A brand new Liverpool Independent Freshers Fair is launching, introducing students to everything they’ll love about the city.

The one-day event, on Tuesday September 16, aims to help students get the most out of Liverpool, whether they’re just arriving or returning.

It will bring together a mix of national big brands and some of the best-loved local independent restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs and shops who’ll be welcoming students with exclusive offers, deals and freebies.

There will also be representatives from organisations on hand to offer advice around everything from sexual health to student housing.

Everything that makes for a great student experience will be all under one roof. Liverpool Independent Freshers Fair is taking place at Einstein Bier Haus in Concert Square, right in the heart of Liverpool’s thriving bar and club scene.

It’s open to anyone studying in higher education, whatever the course, whether that’s at the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Hope University, LIPA, LMA or Edge Hill University.

And it’s free to enter – with the first 100 students each receiving a goody bag! Exhibitors will include lots of the city’s top bars, with student haunts like McCooleys, Soho and La’go, along with clubs such as Level, Heaven and Electrik. Newcomers to Liverpool can discover restaurants and cafes that are about to become instant breakfast, lunch and late night favourites including The Tavern, Pocket and The Bagelry, as well as a wide range of retailers.

Because students like to keep an eye on their cash, businesses won’t just be offering exclusive bar discounts and student-only deals, they’ll have freebies too. Selected restaurants will be handing out free food so there’s a chance to sample Wingstop, American Pizza Slice, vegan dishes from Down The Hatch and pancakes from The Tavern – plus free drinks from some of the bars and retailers.

Liverpool Independent Freshers Fair also has a fantastic free prize draw, with a full guitar and amp set-up, wide-screen TV, iPad, and £100 in cash amongst the prizes being given away on the day.

All students have to do to enter is connect with the brands they like best while they’re at the fair. Admission is free on the door, from 11am until 5pm, but free tickets can be booked via Eventbrite which will give automatic entry into the £100 cash prize draw and a queue jump.

Liverpool Independent Freshers Fair will be held at Einstein Bier Haus, Concert Square, 26 Fleet St, Liverpool L1 4AN.
