From 4pm – 9pm, the city centre will come alive with entertainment including Capital Manchester DJs, the MCR Student Fair, pop-up stalls and games, plus lots of freebies and giveaways.
There are extensive shopping offers throughout the many stores dotted around the city centre, with most offering at least 20% discount to students. The list of places is massive so I'm not going to copy and paste it here - but know that it's pretty much everyone.
- There are 50 goody bags up for grabs at Paperchase, but even if you do miss out it’s still worth dropping in for complimentary Malibu, a live DJ, in-store demos and 20% off.
- With free-flowing drinks, complimentary beauty treats, live DJ sets and 10% off with their rewards app make sure Harvey Nichols is on your MCR Student Social itinerary.
- From favourite names to their own branded products you won't find anywhere else, you only need to spend £1 at Wilko in Manchester Arndale to claim your free goody bag.
- Stay ahead of the game with the latest kicks and clothing at Footasylum, pick up a goody bag from their Manchester Arndale store (while stocks last) and 20% off full price items.
- Paying a visit to Selfridges Exchange Square is an absolute must on student night – this year there’s complimentary treats aplenty plus 20% off selected departments.

- Stop off at Kiehls on King Street for a bit of complimentary R&R - prosecco, afternoon tea and hand & arm massages – and those spending over £50 will receive a goody bag.
- Head to popular menswear store Drome in Manchester Arndale for goody bags and 20% off.
- Plan your route wisely and make your first stop Hotel Chocolat where the first 25 students to make a purchase will get a free ice cream!
- Head to Molton Brown in St Ann’s Square for complimentary hand & arm massages, prosecco and most importantly, free goody bags!
