Go Programme is packed full of activities, events and experiences. Every year thousands of students get involved, so what are you waiting for? Join us! Buying Tickets Tickets for all events are on sale online at www.sheffieldsu.com/events TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE- you cannot turn up on the door and pay. Many Give it a Go events are in high demand and tickets sell out very quickly, so please buy your tickets early to avoid disappointment. Unfortunately all tickets purchased are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged or transferred. If the event organiser cancels the event, a full refund will be issued from the Students Union Box Office. Participants will be informed of cancellations via social media and email where possible. Room locations Unsure of where to go? Check out the map on pages 8/9 in this programme. If the location reads ‘The Edge’ in Endcliffe, ‘The Ridge’ in Ranmoor, or ‘The SU’ (Students’ Union), just meet outside the reception. Goodwin Sports Centre is located on Northumberland Road (on your way up to Crookes).

Safety Minibus For evening activities in the Students’ Union, the Safety minibus will take you home to your door anywhere within a 2 mile radius of the SU. The service runs every hour and costs just £1.50. Public Transport For information on bus or tram fares in and around Sheffield, visit www.travelsouthyorkshire.com The Give it a Go sports activities are in partnership with Sport Sheffield.

Look out for the next Give it a Go in April!
