Our Black Students' Network (BSN) runs regular workshops, socials and wellbeing sessions throughout the year.
Over the summer of 2025, we reviewed the BSN with a large group of students, who requested there be one place where you can find out about all of the BSN events and other local events in Bath that showcase the work of Black* artists and speakers. In response, we created this page. We hope you find it useful and enjoy the events.
