Didn't make it to a club or society social? Want to meet new people? Just want to try something new? Give it a Go is your chance to get involved in one-of-a-kind activities.
University isn’t all just about your degree. Coming out of your comfort zone and trying new things is also an important aspect as a student. This is why we have our Give It A Go programme running throughout the academic year, which allows you the chance to try out cool, new things that you might not have had the chance to. From reptile experiences all the way to an adults-only indoor play session, here are some of this term's Give It A Go events that you should not miss out on!
Show off your sushi chef skills
For all the sushi enthusiasts, you can get on the roll and learn to make your own perfect sushi! Afterwards, you can eat your rice-filled creations. Soy awesome right?
Learn to do tarot and cold reading
Cultivate the psychic energies within you as this event allows you the chance to learn to read the fortunes of others and yourself! You never know, you could be the next Derren Brown.
Shred up the racing track while Go Karting
Whether you're experienced on the roads or have never been a driver's seat before, go karting is great fun for everyone!
Re-live your childhood in an adults-only indoor play session
Don't you just miss those indoor play areas you used to go to as a kid? Well, we've got you covered! As part of the Give It A Go program of events, you can head to Playzone in Portsmouth for a night of frolicking in ball pits and slides.
Befriend some reptiles
Ever held a snake, or even a baby crocodile? It's your time to release your inner Steve Irwin! The reptile experience allows you to have the chance to befriend and cuddle with one. Just think of the profile picture opportunities!
