Students enjoyed an end-of-year celebration with the return of our annual UoDB-Fest.

Highlights included live music from The Mercians rock band and tunes from our resident accordion player and student, Jonathan Baker. We also enjoyed a range of activities including inflatable sumo wrestling, dartboard football and bungee runs. Our ice cream van was a big hit too!

A special thank you to Janis Wild, UODB Enrichment Officer, and everyone who helped make the day a success. 💙
