Excited

A spokesperson for the UniBrass Foundation said: "We are excited to host UniBrass 2025 and show everyone the wonderful venues on offer at Cardiff University. There will be plenty of space to socialise, grab a drink at the Taf pub in the SU building, and browse the trade stands in Y Plas during the day.

The Great Hall has hosted a number of renowned artists and bands over the years, and we can't wait to add UniBrass to that list! The social in Y Plas is also certainly not one to be missed!"
