Last night saw the Students’ Union’s Halloween extravaganza with events being held in Southampton and Winchester to celebrate the festive occasion.

Students decorated pumpkins at the Pimp your Pumpkin event in the WSA Cafe yesterday evening. There was a good variety of designs, including a Minion pumpkin and even a Leprachaun design, plus much more.

The winning design was created by Josh Samways, who won a voucher to the WSA Art shop to spend on materials.

Students were given free Halloween-themed refreshments as they took part in games, including Pin the Nose on the Witch, a spooky twist on … Read the rest

Just down the road from us is the beautiful city of Winchester, home to a stunning cathedral, wonderful Christmas markets, and most importantly (well, to us at least!) the Winchester School of Art (WSA), part of University of Southampton!

The WSA Cafe is used for Students’ Union events like the Quiz and Curry, and tomorrow’s Pimp Your Pumpkin.

You may not yet have known that the Union – Winchester has its very own Facebook page, dedicated to bringing both WSA and all other University of Southampton students the latest news and events across Winchester.

We have promised to make the Students’ Union presence bigger and better at Winchester and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and we are kicking off by organising for Ben Franklin, the Students’ Union President, to come to the WSA Cafe and NOC on alternate Fridays to get to know you all and answer any questions you may have about the Students’ Union.

Last Friday (2nd October),  Ben went over to the WSA Cafe for his first session to mingle with students during our Meet the Guide Dogs event. He will next be back on the 16th October from 12pm-1.30pm and … Read the rest

Calling all Winchester students! We know that even with easy access to transport that can take you to the Highfield Campus, Winchester School of Art (WSA) can still seem very far away from all the events happening in Southampton.

However there is no need to fret. We have been working hard to make sure that the Union – Winchester has just as many diverse events taking place right on your doorstep at the Winchester School of Art campus. Throughout your Fresher’s there will be exciting events for you to get involved in taking place regularly at WSA, one of those … Read the rest
