Who’s there?
The Welcome Fair is the perfect place to meet and greet all of our student groups: activity groups, student societies, networks, and more. Whether you’re keen on football and lacrosse, or geography and Harry Potter, there'll be something for everyone to sign up for and get involved in!
Our Welcome App will have a schedule of the online sessions so you won’t need to sit by the phone all day to chat with your favourite student groups, as well as a floor plan of the in-person venue so you know exactly where to go on the day.
We'll also have our commercial partners in attendance who will be giving out freebies and student discounts across the Fair.
How can I get around?
Our KCLSU Welcome App will have an interactive map of all stalls, which will help you easily find what you are looking for. There will also be KCLSU staff on-site, ready to assist you with anything you need throughout the day.
Is there an accessible entrance?
Old Billingsgate is a step-free venue and we have lifts and ramps for accessibility requirements. The entrance is the same and we will have fast track queues for these purposes.
Are there any COVID safety measures?
- We encourage you to get tested within 24 hours prior to attending the fair (you can order free NHS tests here or use one of the King's testing centres)
- We encourage you to have had the COVID vaccine if you are eligible (find out more about the vaccine here)
- We encourage you to wear a mask in the venue
- We will have hand sanitizing stations around the venue
- There'll be a one-way system in the venue to navigate Fair
- There's also an outdoor chill-out zone if you feel overwhelmed or need some fresh air
