Ten of the best: Freshers parties to attend in 2021

With Freshers right around the corner, it is time to take a look at the best parties that you can find up and down the UK this year. It's been a long time since Freshers has happened with students being forced to be wrapped up indoors during the pandemic and sometimes even shut into their accommodation.

It hasn't been a great time to be a student but hopefully, this academic year will be much better, there'll be more people celebrating than ever as those who missed last years action will surely want to go through that experience this year. With that in mind here are ten of the best Freshers parties to attend.
