One of the most popular nights on the Sunderland calendar will return next Monday as both old and new students are welcomed to The Bridges’ annual Student Raid.
The event will be held in the centre on September 25 from 6pm to 9pm, with most of the centre’s retailers taking part – some offering discounts of up to 30%.
The Student Raid is always massively popular, with thousands of people turning up to enjoy the entertainment, giveaways and the opportunity to bag some bargains.
This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever, with huge discounts, live performances and a festival vibe.

Karen Eve, Centre Director at Bridges, said, “The Student Raid is a fantastic opportunity to introduce both college and university students into the city centre and lets them discover what we have to offer.”
“It’s always a great night and as well as some amazing discounts, there’ll be competitions, giveaways and some brilliant entertainment.
