12 Days of Christmas: Our Festive Countdown on Campus

Are we really approaching the end of term already? We can almost hear the Christmas bells! To celebrate the final weeks on campus, we’ve put together a festive line-up of cosy treats, cheerful themed days, and special offers at the Hive.

Throughout December, you’ll find seasonal specials, great value offers, and relaxed moments designed to brighten your study sessions and coffee breaks.

Whether you're stopping in for a warm drink, taking a breather between classes, or simply looking to enjoy a little festive spirit on campus, our countdown has something for everyone.
