Top 5 Events This Week
The Saint highlights the hottest events of the week.
Reclaim the Night 2022 (24 November 2022)
The annual Reclaim the Night march will be happening tonight from 6pm, with protesters meeting in St Salvator’s Quad and following a route across town. The march is in protest of gender based violence and aims to highlight how, for marginalised genders, the streets are still not a safe place to be. This year, the organising groups seek to spotlight the importance of intersectionality in this movement.
VS23 Launch Party (24 November 2022)
VS creatives will be holding their streetwear fashion show launch party tonight at the Vic. A night of ‘fashion, dance, and music’, the group will be introducing attendees to this year’s models and providing a flavour of what is to come at the group’s fashion show next semester. Committed to affordability, tickets for the launch are £16 and £8 for the afterparty and can be bought on FIXR.
The Big Hoolie (26 November 2022)
