Running throughout January 2025, Winter Welcome is a series of events to welcome you to university, run by us, your Union. It's a chance to meet new people, find out what the Union's all about and have a good time.

We'll host lots of events from fairs and speed meetings to campus tours and live music. These are your opportunity to connect with societies and sports clubs , explore what Glasgow has on offer and celebrate the start of your university experience!

Our address is 51 Richmond Street, G1 1XU. The building is on the corner of Richmond and Portland Street directly across from Livingston Tower, Graham Hills and Rottenrow Gardens.

This will depend on the event but most of our events will be free! If there is a charge for an event, it will be shared ahead of time on the event page or our social media.

You can check the details for entry at the Union before you arrive.

The Union is fully cashless, so you will need to bring a card to pay for coffee at Roasters or a drink at The Terrace.

We work with Bryks for loyalty and rewards at Roasters and The Terrace. Make sure to download the Bryks app before you arrive to add loyalty cards to use at each venue.
