Chinese New Year Celebrations at Exeter University!

Hello everyone! We hope you're all keeping well and warm in this unusual freezing weather! This Saturday Exeter University is celebrating the chinese new year with activities all day starting in the afternoon in the High Street. At 1pm there will be a Dragon and Lion dance in Bedford Square, which is in the Princesshay Shopping Centre near Debenhams. Then the procession will work its way to the university and will end up in the business school where it will continue for the rest of the afternoon until the fireworks at 6.15pm. Inside the business school there will be plenty of activities, events and traditional food to keep you entertained. In the evening at 8pm there will be a Chinese performance in the Great Hall, of which you can buy tickets for from the INTO reception; £4 for members of the Chinese Society and £6 for non-members. This is a great event and very popular with both students and the general public, and is attended yearly by around 2000 people! Take a look at the website and watch the videos for more information :)
