Students in Liverpool are set for an unforgettable start to the academic year as Liverpool ONE’s Student Event returns with DJs, freebies and the chance to win a £100 shopping spree every 30 minutes.
Taking place on Friday, 25 September, the free event will give students the chance to discover exclusive offers from more than 80 brands while enjoying a packed programme of entertainment and activities across Liverpool ONE.
Students can take advantage of discounts of up to 50% at selected dining and entertainment venues, along with savings of up to 25% at some of Liverpool ONE’s most popular fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands.
A new addition for 2026 is the Student Shopper Sweep, inspired by the classic TV show Supermarket Sweep.
Lucky students will be given five minutes to race around some of Liverpool ONE’s biggest stores, filling their baskets during a high-energy shopping spree.
Brands taking part include Urban Outfitters, Zara, Bershka, ARNE, Uniqlo, Sephora and BOSS, with more retailers involved throughout the event.
The Liverpool ONE Student Event will run from 11am until 7pm.
From midday, a new £100 winner will be selected every 30 minutes, giving students throughout the day the opportunity to shop at their favourite brands for free.
Alongside the competitions and discounts, students can expect DJs, giveaways and entertainment throughout Liverpool ONE as the city welcomes thousands of new and returning students for the start of the academic year.
Brendan Hattam, Centre Director at Liverpool ONE, said:
“We’re excited for the return of our Student Event at Liverpool ONE and the addition of the Shopper Sweep competition giving students the chance to kick off the new academic year in style with an unforgettable shopping experience in the heart of the city.
“It’s a fantastic way to welcome new students for the first time, or to welcome returning students back to the city, whilst showcasing the breadth of brands, experiences and entertainment on offer at Liverpool ONE.
