1. iCUSU World Food Festival
https://www.facebook.com/events/708704762540265/
Joined by around 15 international societies, International Food Festival is an event where you get the opportunity to try a wide range of authentic food from around the world IN ONE GO. Time to get excited!! But before pampering yourself with mouth-watering food, here is some important information you need to know.
Each society will have a stall and food can only be bought by pre-purchased coupons. The time and location of the coupon sales are to be confirmed (likely to be 25th and 26th in front of CUSU building). If you miss it, they are still available at the door during the event. £1 entrance fee per person will be collected in the latter case.
Location: Baptist Church, St Andrews Streets
Time: Sat. 1st November 18:00-21:00
You will only be admitted in one of the two time slots. The first one is 18:00-19:30 and the second one is 19:30-21:00. You can choose your slot if you get coupons prior to our event.
