I have only just seen this thread but I was successful with;
Bakers employability open day london
DLA piper open day
Clyde&co insight day
DWF open day
Shoosmiths insight evening

I am not posting this to gloat, but my top tip would be to personalise your applications for anyone who is still applying firms want to see that you really want to get to know them and can see yourself working there.

I applied for the Vac scheme at bakers and DLA piper this year and was rejected even after attending these Events btw
