10 Rainy Day Ideas for Students in Liverpool
Let’s face it, as a student in Liverpool you’re bound to encounter rainy days. After all, most climate sources estimate around 140-160 of them every year!
Luckily, our top city has plenty of activities to keep you occupied even when the grey skies loom. Take a look at our below guide for 10 rainy day ideas on a student budget.
1. Hit the gym
Not only is working out totally free at your true student Nottingham gym, but it’s also just what you need to boost your mood on a dull day. Exercise stimulates endorphin release, which acts as a natural mood elevator, leaving you feeling less tense and more chilled after your workout. With our free fitness class schedule on hand, there’s never an excuse not to keep active through the bad weather.
2. Get cooking
Rainy days are the best for prepping and batch-making your week’s meals and snacks! Get researching some great student recipes, head to the shops for your ingredients and then return to your student home to whip up a storm in the kitchen. Great cooking playlist essential.
3. Immerse yourself in Beatles history
If you’re a uni student in Liverpool, you should really get your Beatles trivia in order! Therefore, use the miserable weather to boost your knowledge on the famous four with a visit to The Liverpool Beatles Museum on Mathew Street. Student discount available on entry tickets.
4. Prepare for an indoor battle
Fancy being a big kid for the day? Grab a bunch of mates and head to the Nerf Centre Liverpool for a nostalgic experience taking you back to your younger years! Their ‘Warzone Weekdays’ sessions are aimed specifically at students (Mon-Thurs) with 500 paintballs and armour hire for just £29.99pp (minimum 10 people). It’s going to be messy, but at least the rain will wash off the excess!
5. Hit a board game café
Paintballing sound a little too adventurous for you? Perhaps the Sugar and Dice Board Game Café in Cornhill might be more your style. Their extensive game library is pretty impressive. Plus, the homemade cakes and coffee are an added bonus. Duck into the cosy cafe on a rainy day to see what’s going on, or keep up-to-date with their events calendar via Instagram.
6. Settle in for a movie marathon
Money running low at the end of the month? Skip the cinema and opt for a movie marathon from the cosy comfort of your own room. Stock up on snacks, put your comfiest loungewear on, and press play. You knew choosing a student room with a free Smart TV included was a great call, didn’t you!
7. Go for par at Junkyard Golf Club
Amazing news for golf-loving students - Junkyard Golf Liverpool offers students 50% off indoor crazy golf tickets ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! Known for its lively atmosphere and great cocktails, it’s the perfect spot when the weather’s not playing game. Book a tee-time online or walk in with a valid student ID.
8. Plan your escape
Fancy being locked in a room with your favourite friends, using only your collective brain power to escape? If so, we think you’re going to love Breakout Liverpool. Teams can range from 2-5 members and you can choose from a range of different room themes that vary in difficulty. Plus, there’s a Student Discount Day every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so you can book for 2 players, then bring up to 3 extra student players for free!
9. Have a bottomless brunch date
Sometimes the rain calls for just one thing - a bottomless brunch! Luckily, there’s no shortage of venues in Liverpool to host you and your friends. From the Slug & Lettuce or Revolution Liverpool, to Turtle Bay or Coyote Ugly Saloon, the choice is extensive and most have student-friendly weekday sessions available. For a set price, you can enjoy drinks, food, live music, and sometimes games too. Prices range from £25 upwards.
