In Aber for Winter

Whatever the reason – many students often stay in Aberystwyth over the Winter break. We don’t want anyone to feel alone, so we’ve put together this list of events going on as well as a list of useful contacts.

We’ve also created a Facebook group to share updates of events and activities, as well as giving students the opportunity to arrange meet-up with others.

You can also take a look at the Students' Union buliding opening times over Winter break here!
