The Wessex Lane Res Life Fair will take place outdoors near the Boiler House. If the weather doesn’t allow for an outdoor event, we will relocate to the common room. In the case of severe weather conditions, the event will be cancelled and rescheduled.

⚠️Please note: This event is for University of Southampton students currently living in halls. Students who don’t live in halls are welcome to attend if they are accompanied by someone who does.

Don't miss out on this exciting event! Mark your calendars for 7 October 2025 at 4:00 PM and get ready for a memorable day at Wessex Lane!
