Taking place in the Glyndwr Sports Centre the Freshers Fair has become one of the key events for students arriving at university / new town for the first time. The event has also become one of the more popular freshers events, with students seen queuing around the building prior to event in the hope of picking up some freebies and finding out more about the local area.
