Strath Union, Glasgow
Free
This event is completely free and you can turn up on the day but please register your interest if coming to help give us an idea of numbers 🙂
Join us for a stroll around some of the best charity shops near campus! As a cherry on top, we will end our tour at the world famous and iconic Barras Market, a mixture of street markets, indoor markets, shops and pubs. Just about anything can be purchased at the Barras and it is not one to miss! Buying second hand is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and supporting local charities while getting all your essentials for your new room or anything else you might desire for Freshers' Week and beyond.
We will meet at the Strath Union reception (Welcome Desk) on level 1 of the building, 51 Richmond Street to leave for the walk around 12pm. For anyone joining from Student Village accommodation you can meet our Welcome Team outside the Lord Todd Building at 11:40 to make your way to the Union together before the event. You can also join us at any point on the way – you can recognise our Welcome Team volunteers from their pink t-shirts.
