How do I get involved with a community or society?

You can explore our full list of societies, and purchase any memberships you are interested in. Make sure you keep an eye on our events page to see upcoming events where you can get involved.

Can I attend events even if I’m not a society member?

Most societies will run taster sessions at the start of the academic year, and many also offer non-member ticket options during the year too. Check their websites and social media for more information

What if I’m reading this page and realise I need support?

Support is always available for you at Exeter. Whether it’s wellbeing support, community groups or reporting tools, you can take things at your own pace and choose what feels right for you.

Can I be part of more than one community?

Of course! Many students are part of multiple communities — whether that’s based on identity, interests or experiences. You don’t have to fit into just one space. Exploring different groups can help you build connections, discover new perspectives and find where you feel most at home.

I’m new to Exeter — where should I start?

When you first arrive, we know things can feel overwhelming. Look out for events where you can make some initial connections through communities and society taster sessions.

How do I suggest an event?

We’d love to hear your idea, drop us an email at events@exeterguild.com and we’ll be more than happy to discuss your ideas! 

When will I receive info about the trip I’ve booked?

Trip info will be sent 1–2 working days before your trip via FIXR to the email linked to your FIXR account. If it hasn’t arrived, email events@exeterguild.com.

Can I attend on my own? 

Yes, you can! Lots of students come alone, join other groups, participate in activities together, and form new friendships. Our events are run by students and are available to support throughout our events! 

How do I refund my ticket?

Email us at events@exeterguild.com, and we can refund your ticket where possible. Please note that refunds can take 5-10 working days and are issued through FIXR. 

Is there a waitlist for tickets?

Some of our events sell out very quickly, but not to worry! Join the waitlist on FIXR and you will be contacted if a space becomes available. Where there is large demand for an event, we will try to run it again, so no one misses out

Tickets are sold out. Can I still attend?

On every event FIXR description, it will say whether tickets are available on the day. We try, where possible, to provide on-the-day tickets for the majority of our events.

When should I arrive for my event?

If you’ve booked onto a craft session or event in our spaces, come along at your booked time to secure your spot. If you’re more than 20 minutes late, your place may be given to someone else.

What can I expect at a Guild event?

So much! Our events are run by our wonderful student event assistants, who are there to guide you through and are available to support you throughout!  
 
On FIXR, the description will include what you can expect for the specific activity and clear accessibility information for the event location. 

Still not sure? Drop us an email at events@exeterguild.com, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions!
