Welcome to our autumn term programme of events! Join us and our partners in the Global Lounge, and other locations, for a huge variety of exciting events. From our regular Language CafĂ©, to one-off cultural celebrations, community building events and Beyond Black History Month series, there’s plenty to get involved in!
All Global Lounge events are open to current students (home and international) and staff at the University of Bristol.
You can see our upcoming events listed below, in date order. All of our regular events are available without a booking, you can simply turn up on the day. However, for most of our one-off cultural events, registration is required. Registration opens one week before the event date. Spaces are limited and events often sell out, so be sure to register your place to avoid disappointment.
Please note that we only allow one ticket per person. If your friends would like tickets, make sure they book quickly to ensure they don’t miss out. Any questions? Please contact us at global-lounge@bristol.ac.uk.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
