Nigel Wheatley, Centre Director at Victoria Centre, said: “Student Night is one of the real highlights of our calendar. There is something incredibly special about seeing thousands of students come together at the centre – meeting new friends, making memories and enjoying everything the evening has to offer as they begin a new academic year in Nottingham.
“For many, this will be their first chance to experience Victoria Centre as part of student life. We want them to leave knowing it is a place they can return to throughout the year, whether they are discovering the brands they love, catching up with friends over food or finding something new to enjoy.”
