What is SocFest

SocFest is all about celebrating the wonderful work our societies do, and showcasing the amazing feats, work, and fun we’ve gotten up to this year! Organised by your Vice President of Societies, Anna Taylor with support from our Societies Committee, we’re going to bring live music and performances from our musical societies, activities taster sessions from societies such as salsa, drumming soc and more, the exciting games with great prizes, and of course, food trucks to snack on throughout the day.  
 
Beyond this, we hope to bring some fantastical fun-fair / summer fete themed games, including hook-a-duck, giant board games, a bowling competition and more. There will be something for everyone, so please come along and get involved!
