❗️BEWARE OF COPY CAT IMITATIONS ❗️
The Freshers Welcome Week Icebreaker has been running since 2012, and has been at the heart of every freshers week since. Listing only legitimate & best venues in every city. Don't be fooled by other events trying to imitate Freshers Welcome Week & The Big Freshers Icebreaker. There IS ONLY ONE!!
Since our inception in 2012, no other freshers company has sold more tickets than us. We know what a proper party looks like. We are often imitated but never truly replicated as we offer an experience and a production level that is a cut above the rest. We want you to experience the very best in freshers week, and give you memories that will last a lifetime, as you embark into university life and adulthood.
We welcome you to take a look at a mixture of our photo albums from different cities all the way back in 2012

🚩 No previous photos or video evidence of the event happening

FAQ SECTION🗣️ Can my non-university friends or partner attend?✅ Yes they can! They will still need to have purchased their own tickets but every student is allowed 2 non-students to join them for entry.🗣️ Why do the tickets come in different price tiers?✅ There is only a limited amount of tickets we can sell. Therefore we operate a festival style ticketing model. The earlier you buy your ticket the cheaper it will be.🗣️Does my ticket need to be in my name?✅ No it doesn't, we just need to scan your barcode. However, please be cautious when buying tickets from a third party.
🗣️is my ticket refundable?✅ Yes your ticket is refundable if you are not accepted into your preferred university and decide not to attend any University. We will endeavour to transfer your ticket to another university if we have events there. All refund requests must be submitted before Monday 17th of August.
