Have a wonderful day with ResX exploring Drayton Manor
Get ready for an action-packed day away from campus! Join ResX for an unforgettable trip to Drayton Manor Resort, home to some of the UK’s most exciting flat rides and coasters.
Whether you’re a self-proclaimed "adrenaline junkie" or someone who prefers a more relaxed pace, there is something for everyone:
- The Rides: Brave the heart-pounding heights of Shockwave or take a spin on the brand-new Gold Rush coaster.
- The Zoo: Take a break from the screams and wander through the 15-acre open-plan zoo, home to over 50 species including Red Pandas, Meerkats, and Sumatran Tigers.
- It’s the perfect way to take a break from your studies, meet fellow residents, and experience one of the UK’s top attractions.
Please meet at the bus stop outside exchange building at 8:30am where a member of ResX staff will check you in to board the bus.
Tickets and coach are free but extremely limited, so make sure you book early to avoid missing out.
This event is for students living in ResX-supported halls only:
All University Park, Jubilee and Sutton Bonington Halls

Please note: if you book a ticket and do not attend, ResX will charge you the full ticket price. You can cancel your booking via Unihub up to 24 hours before the start of the event without any charge.
