Halls Life Activity Packs

Posted 3 weeks ago

Delivering cooking and baking activities to you!

Moving to halls is all about learning new life skills (yes, cooking!), making friends and getting to know your new flatmates. So what better way to do that than to order a Halls Life Activity Pack for your flat?

Every two weeks we'll deliver Halls Life Activity Packs across our halls. These boxes are filled with cooking or baking activities for your flat to get stuck into.

Fancy a sneak preview of what might be coming up? Think brownies, banana bread, christmas veg boxes and more  👀

What are Halls Life Activity Packs?

Our packs contain the items needed to bake or cook your dish and a recipe card. They're totally free to book for those of you living in University Halls.

We work with our friends over in the University's catering team to source the ingredients. The team carefully hand-pack every item into the Activity Packs boxes, ready for our student helpers to deliver on the day.

🎉 Fun fact! Activity Packs originally started in 2020 when in-person events couldn't take place! We decided to bring the activity to our residents instead and they've stuck ever since...

How to book an Activity Pack:

The booking link will go live on a Friday at 4pm so be quick as they're first come, first served! You'll find the booking link in your Friday what's on email from the Halls Life team.

Activity Packs are totally free and quick to book. We ask that you book just one pack per flat, we want as many of you to enjoy an Activity Pack as possible! 

Fancy delivering Activity Packs and earning some extra cash? Our Accommodation Team will be recruiting student ambassadors to take part in Open Days, Applicant Discovery Days and to deliver packs. Check your emails regularly for available shifts or reach out to the team hallsamb@liverpool.ac.uk to find out about current opportunities.

What to expect:

Activity Packs don't contain fresh ingredients such as meat. They're often veggie recipes or recipes that come without delicate items such as eggs (after an egg delivery mishap, we learnt our lesson). Don't worry the items that you might need to provide yourself are often cupboard staples!

We'll list the delivery date and recipe in the booking link so you'll know exactly what to expect. Our helpers will deliver packs on the Wednesday between 11am-3pm. Just listen out for a knock on the door as it'll be left outside your flat.  

The recipes are enough for around 4-6 people but you're welcome to top up any recipe with your own items too. 

Look out for competitions throughout the year! We'll be putting your cooking and baking skills to the test with flat prizes to be won. All you'll need to do is get creative and send photos of your bakes to enter!
