Ayubowan! Welcome to the Sri Lankan Society

The Sri Lankan Society is a vibrant and welcoming community for all Sri Lankan students at the University of Bradford, and for anyone who wants to explore the rich culture of the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean." We are a home away from home, dedicated to sharing our traditions, food, and friendship with the entire university.
