Events
-
How much do events cost to join?
Absolutely nothing! All offerings at Exhale are free.
-
Where can I see the events that are organised at Exhale?
You can see our calendar here. We organise two events a week, and every month new events are added to the calendar!
-
How do I sign up for events?
You can sign up for our ticketed events on our website. Please note that there are also events you don’t have to sign up for. Just drop by!
-
I can’t sign up for an event that is shown on your website anymore. Is the event full?
If there is not an option to make a reservation, this means the event is already full. You can either check back later in case there have been cancellations, or you can show up before the event to see if any spaces have become available last minute. We cannot guarantee there will always be space left but we will do our best to find you a spot.
-
How do I cancel my attendance for an event I signed up for?
You can cancel your attendance by clicking the cancellation button in the confirmation email you received when signing up. Please do so, because by cancelling you are giving an opportunity for another student to sign up and enjoy the event!
-
Should I still come along even if the event is fully booked?
Sure! In our experience, there are always a few no-shows at our events. Come to Exhale ahead of the event and there’s a big chance we can still squeeze you in.
