SU Makes… DIY Runes (27/05/2026, 12:00)

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:41:46 +0100

This week's SU Makes focuses on making your own runes 🔮✨

We’ll be using air-dry clay to create our own set of runes for divination – we’ll give you templates, instructions and everything you need to create something special.

What are runes?

In some modern Pagan traditions, divination is done by casting runes. Much like reading Tarot cards, rune casting isn't fortune-telling or predicting the future. Instead, it's a guidance tool that works with your subconscious to help solve problems by looking at potential outcomes.

We’ll keep your runes safe for you while they dry and you can come and paint them, learn to read them, and take them away them at SU Makes… Journals on Monday 1^st June 12-5 in the Atrium.

No materials, tools, or experience necessary – come along and make something meaningful, make friends, make a mess, and maybe even learn a new skill!

Drop in whenever you’re ready – we’re looking forward to seeing you ❤

Our volunteers create engaging experiments using simple household items and ingredients. The sessions consist of a general introduction and then individual lessons on Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Weekly projects span from erupting ‘volcanos’ to making ‘lava lamps’. We can assure you, it’s not only kids who find these experiments awesome, you’ll find your inner scientist and enjoy them as well!

Green Thumbs Regular Project (07/06/2026, 11:00)

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 11:17:17 +0100

WE ARE THE UNIVERSITY'S GARDENING PROJECT.

We are a student-led group that manages and cultivates a large allotment space on campus. We work and grow our produce collectively and we welcome new volunteers.

GROWING AND BUILDING

Some of the crops that we have successfully grown or are currently growing include potatoes, raspberries, gooseberries, red currants, sweetcorn, tomatoes, artichokes, radishes, salad leaves, a variety of herbs, carrots, onions, beetroot, strawberries, chillies, peas, green beans. We also have a few fruit trees! We work together to grow our produce and share it between members.

SUSTAINABILITY

We strive to be as sustainable as possible in our activities. We use second-hand and repurposed resources where possible and aim to incorporate permaculture into our use of the space. We also regularly engage with sustainability events on campus. During the harvest periods we sell surplus produce on campus, saving members of the community from purchasing food from less-sustainable sources.

WELLBEING & VOLUNTEERING

Outdoor activities like gardening are often discussed as great ways to improve mental health and general wellbeing. Whilst gardening isn't a cure-all for mental ill-health, we strive to create an inclusive, welcoming and safe space for students, staff and members of the public to work together and build friendships. We ensure that all our produce is either gifted to students, or given to people in need.

ALL STUDENTS WELCOME

Get ready for an unforgettable Holi celebration, brought to you in collaboration with the Indian Society and Hindu Society! Join us for an explosion of colour, music, and joy as we celebrate spring, love, and new beginnings.

Expect an electrifying atmosphere with Bollynights (@bollynightsuk) providing non-stop entertainment! Feel the beats of live DJs and traditional dhol drummers while immersing yourself in a whirlwind of vibrant, colored powder and dance the afternoon away.

📅 DATE: Tuesday, 28 April 2026
⏰ TIME: Starts at 1 PM and Ends 4PM
🎟 TICKET HOLDERS: Arrive anytime between 1 PM and 3 PM
📍 LOCATION: Sports Field, Colchester Campus

🚫 ALCOHOL-FREE EVENT: No alcohol is permitted on site.

🎟 Your Ticket Includes:

👕 What to Wear?

As part of your ticket you will receive a SU branded Holi White t-shirt* at the sign-in desk.

Wearing white makes the colours pop! We recommend bringing a change of clothes because, by the end, you’ll be covered in a vibrant rainbow of paint.

(*while stocks last)

🟢 Safe & Fun! Our colour powder is non-toxic and made from natural ingredients (corn starch and food-grade dye). It’s safe for the skin, doesn’t stain when used correctly, and inhaling small amounts is unlikely to cause harm.

❓ FAQs

🤔 Why is Holi held in Term 3?

We hold Holi in Term 3 to provide the best experience for our members.

In previous years, we have had to cancel and postpone Holi due to the weather.

As a result of this, in collaboration with the societies, we decided to hold Holi in term 3.

This timing allows us to secure the best venue and enjoy better weather for an outdoor celebration.

SU MAKES: Pages sessions are exclusively for the existing journalling community*. They’re based on the idea of Morning Pages - a daily practice of writing in a stream-of-consciousness/ brain-dump way.

Writing regularly in this way is enormously beneficial to your wellbeing; it’s a judgment-free opportunity to get your thoughts down on paper and cleared from your mind. You’ll find solutions to problems naturally, process emotions, gain comfort with writing, and learn to silence your inner critic.

As with all of our Makes, this is a zero-pressure moment to enjoy – all you need to do is: don’t think too hard and just write.

* If you don’t already have a journal with us, look out for the next SU MAKES: Journals session at the end of every month when you can pick up your own book and begin to make it truly your own

Best Year Yet is your self-made guide to help you reflect on the past year and plan the next one – a way to set new year’s resolutions that actually stick!

We believe that with guidance, support, accountability, and dedicated time & space, you can be empowered to make 2026 your Best Year Yet.

How it works…

Start your Best Year Yet at any time in the year
At your first sessions, you’ll review the last year & plan the year ahead
Meet other people who are working towards goals like yours, find community & support to smash your goals (if that’s your thing – lone wolves also welcome!)
Come to BYY sessions every month to check in with your progress and community
Drop in & out through the year - no pressure!

You can come to as many sessions as you want to, but you only need to come to one.

Join us for a chill time in The Atrium.

We’ll have a quiet night in – you can get to know other people who like the gentler side of life or keep to yourself – there’s no expectations or pressure here.

You’ll find some optional icebreakers & activities to take part in if you’d like (board games, simple things to make) – join in or don’t, no worries.

You can stay as long as you want to and leave when you’re ready.

Welcome to SU Reads - your low-commitment book club.

We will meet monthly, and in each meeting, you can borrow our next book, discuss what we’ve read, and do a themed activity related to the book. ✨

Don't worry - we'll lend you the books and the best part is that the book club is completely free! 🎉

Everyone is welcome to join, even if you didn’t finish the book or missed a few sessions! Just tag along! 💛
