Have you spotted a new beam of light rising above Alex Square? The LUSU Beacon has arrived on campus for one week, bringing a little extra light to Lancaster after dark.
The LUSU Beacon celebrates the people, communities and ideas that make student life at Lancaster what it is. From societies and sport to campaigns, advice, representation and events, it represents everything that makes your Students’ Union part of the university community.
Visible every evening from 4pm to 11pm, the Beacon is a reminder that LUSU is here for every student – whether you're looking to get involved, find support, meet new people or make your voice heard. It's already caught the attention passers-by across campus and in the wider Lancaster area (and the thousands of drivers passing us on the motorway!), and we're delighted to see people stopping to take it in.
So, if you're passing through Alex Square this week, look up and take a moment to spot it. The LUSU Beacon will be shining until Wednesday 11 November - be sure to tag us on socials with any pictures you take!
The LUSU Beacon will be visible every evening until November 11th 2026 (weather dependent).
