Welcome Week

Bryony and Emma staff the welcome stand at Freshers Fair 2023

It’s Welcome Week at the University of Essex from Monday 30 September to Friday 4 October, where we welcome our new students and welcome back our returning students!

Come and meet the Lakeside Theatre team, tour the theatre and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of our café. Our café will be open 9am to 5pm.

We will also have a stand on Square 5 on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday as part of the Welcome Village (11am to 2pm) and at Freshers Fair all day on Friday where you can find out about upcoming shows, pick up a programme and speak to our team about memberships.

You can find out more about our Homegrown season where you can put on a show at the Lakeside Theatre!

You can also win prizes by following us on Instagram in Welcome Week!
