UL Rag Week 2009

Monday March 30^th -  Thursday April 2^nd

Whether this is your first year in college or your last year of studying forever,Rag Week is one that stands out as the best fun you’ll have all year. The idea behind it is to Raise A Grand and to get out there and enjoy the college experience at its best. 

Festival fever usually hits everyone in May; we say why wait until summer to enjoy what you could enjoy earlier! Yep, this year’s UL rag week is going for that funky festival feel, turning the campus into a ‘site’ to be seen and enjoyed. Mark Monday March 30^th to Thursday April 2^nd in your diaries as days you’ll definitely be joining us on campus!

Tickets will go on sale in week 3 on Tuesday 10^th February in the Student Union and the line-up is looking as follows:
