What is the key accessibility information?

There is expected to be loud noise and crowds at this event, whilst it is not in small spaces it may be busy. There are steps into some of the buildings but there are accesible routes, if you are unsure of where these are please ask a member of staff. There are accessible toilets throughout campus.

If you need a quiet space, the SU will be open. If you have a problem please speak to a member of staff.

Who is running the event?

This event is being run by The SU. Our Meet the Team page includes information about every member of The SU team.

If you need a buddy to support you with arriving at the event, please email The SU on info@thesu.org.uk and we will work out what we can arrange to help.

Where is the event taking place?

The event is taking place across Penryn Campus. The main SU stall will be located in The Stannary along with our societies, you'll find the sports clubs in the sports hall and businesses, support and even more stalls in the Exchange Courtyard.

This is in the centre of the campus and is best accessed by taking the steps up from the train station, walking towards the lodge, up the hill and then the Stannary is opposite the shop. Or just follow the path from the bus stop towards the shop.

There will be signs around campus to help you navigate your way around!
