Students came together to enjoy an evening of discounts, games and live entertainment as Suffolk’s Student Shopping Fest returned to Bury St Edmunds.

Held at the Arc shopping centre and the Apex, last Thursday’s event was attended by more than 1,300 students.

Arc manager Colin Roberts said: “We were keen to build on the success of our first Student Shopping Fest, last year, and we were not disappointed. The centre was abuzz with students taking advantage of some great discounts and the retailers are reporting some exceptional sales figures.”
