These are the drunken scenes as dozens of students went on a pub crawl through the Hanley area of Stoke last night as part of the Carnage UK annual tour.
Students from Staffordshire University and Keele University were encouraged to pay £9 to join the pub crawl which was themed as a ‘pyjama jump party’.
The organisers claim that the Stoke-based students will be among 350,000 third-level revellers attending Carnage events this year across 36 cities.
Many of the students staggering around Hanley last night were wearing special Carnage T-shirts which cost £10 each.
This year the route of the pub crawl involved five bars and one ‘super club’. Although, according to the event’s Facebook page, students are advised to ‘enjoy Carnage responsibly’. The organisers also stress they encourage sensible drinking.
