Christmas vacation programme 2024-25

The Global Campus Christmas vacation programme of events and activities runs from 23 December to 17 January and is open to all students looking to meet up with others during the holiday period.

Most events are free, but there are some where you will need to purchase a ticket. These are indicated in the programme. 

Most events will require sign-up so that we have an idea of the numbers who will be attending. Where required, sign-up links can be found in the programme description below. Once you have signed up, you'll receive an email giving you further information including where to meet and any ticket purchases required.

All events are facilitated by our team of Global Campus Ambassadors (wearing pink tops).

If you have any questions about the programme, contact us at globalcampus@sheffield.ac.uk.
