Alternative Freshers Week

Monday

Your student loan’s just come in. You’re feeling rich and irresponsible. What better way to start the week than at the Bora Bora Cocktail bar. If you’re feeling brave, try the famous “Red Devil” cocktail made with a healthy dose of 5 different types of spirits.

Tuesday

It may be worth seeing what the fuss is about when they call York, the world’s most haunted city. Arrive at the Kings Arm Pub at 8pm, flash your student card and take the Original Ghost Walk of York for the small price of £3.

Wednesday

Enjoy some hilarious comedic stand up at the Gillygate Pub. It’s a bit of a trek to get there  but well worth the journey as it promises and always delivers non-stop laughte

Thursday 

Often overlooked and so a great alternative night out is Incarceration Night at The Stone Roses Bar. Specifically aimed at students, a great atmosphere and home to ridiculously cheap trebles, you’ll be tempted to make this your own official Thursday night out.

Friday

From as little as £4, go to the Duchess and enjoy some of the best indie musicians play live. Overstay your welcome there and be the first to see in ‘Phat Fridays’ and dance the rest of the night away to 90’s RnB and Hop Hop Classics. With drinks as little as £1, what’s not to love?

Saturday

If you’re still on an indie high, the only thing worth attending is Control Saturdays at Fibbers. You’re guaranteed great music, cheap entry and even cheaper drinks.

Sunday

Finish the week off by going to the one and only Charles XII just off campus. It’s no surprise this is so popular with York students with its 2 for £7 meal deals. After all the money spent over the week, this will be a huge sigh of relief for the old bank account.
