Join us for some shopping and browse a variety of small market stalls, including perfume, jewellery, clothing and much more!

If you are a seller and interested in having a stall you can get in touch with su-sales@le.ac.uk

We at Leicester Students’ Union work very hard to make our Freshers programme as welcoming and inclusive as possible. 

Whether you’re moving to Leicester for the first time, a commuter, a postgrad, a mature student, an international student, a distance learner, a student-parent or someone who just isn't sure where to start - this is your week!

With that said, if you consider yourself to have a disability, long term health condition or chronic illness and require support accessing our events, let one of our staff at our pop-up reception know when you get here. 

Please also consider the following to make your Freshers experience as smooth as possible: 

Get a Sunflower lanyard

The Sunflower lanyard/ hidden disabilities sunflower is a visible sign that the wearer may have a non-visible disability, condition or chronic illness. Wearing a sunflower lanyard allows the wearer to signal that they may need a little help, understanding or time. You can get yours online or for free in-person at the Highcross Shopping Centre. 

Get a Nimbus/Access card

Nimbus or access cards translates disability or impairments into easy-to-understand symbols on a handy card which can be used to convey access requirements by the card holder. You can order one here.

Talk to us

During Freshers Week we will have a pop-up reception at the entrance of the Percy Gee building. Come and see us (ideally with your Sunflower lanyard or Nimbus/Access cards) if you have any needs and our colleagues will be more than happy to help.
