How to attend the Fair
To attend the Fair, there is no need to book. You can just turn up on the day!
Quiet Half Hour: 12:30 - 13:00 will be run as a quiet session to enable students and staff with additional needs to more easily access the fair experience. During this time, sound is kept to a minimum and we request that those who do not need additional support avoid attending during this time to minimise crowding.
We always recommend checking in advance to see who is attending the event. The list of exhibitors attending will be available to view on Handshake closer to the date of the fair.
Penryn students
If you are based on the Penryn campus and would like to attend the fair, you can reserve a space on one of our coaches, bringing Penryn students to Exeter's Streatham campus for the day. Details on how to do so will be available on Handshake closer to the date of the fair.
