Hundreds of students hit Cardiff for the first of the year’s notorious Carnage pub crawls. Carnage UK is staging events in 44 university towns and cities over the next two months for this year’s freshers. Organisers provide revellers with souvenir t-shirts and exclusive entry into a series of nightspots for the price of around £10. The events attract up to 2,500 students each night as it tours around the UK every October, with hundreds getting so drunk they can hardly stand up.
