We’ve got a lovely present for you on Wednesday, 27th November – Heriot-Watt’s first annual Winter Fest!
Almost every culture has a festival to brighten the colder days and longer nights. Winter Fest celebrates the warmth, light, and cosiness of these traditions right here at Heriot-Watt. We’ve planned a full day of festive events and activities in collaboration with other University departments. Some of the highlights include:
- A Santa Dash round campus
- Meeting real-life reindeer
- A student-run Craft Fair
Check out the events below:
11am Card and decoration making
