The Bloomsbury Studio is UCL's very own 50+ seat, black-box studio theatre, right at the heart of Bloomsbury Campus. The Students' Union are allocated a number of weeks for clubs/societies to perform in the theatre throughout the academic year and these are allocated via the Bloomsbury Studio Bid Process.
Allocations for Term 1 are decided in Term 3 (May/June) of the previous academic year, and allocations for Term 2 are decided in Term 1 of the same academic year (October/November)
If you are interested in bidding for an allocation in the Bloomsbury Studio or just want to know more, please have a look at the Bloomsbury Theatre and Studio Bidding Guidelines 2025/26 - please note that for the majority of slots, you must bid as part of a Union affiliated club/society.
In Term 2 of each year, we offer two open slots - performance weeks that students can bid for directly, without the endorsement of a society. This can be a pathway for anyone unsuccessful at the internal bid stage, or who would like to put something on without being attached to a society.
If you decide to bid for an allocation in the Bloomsbury Studio for the academic year 2025/26, the Bloomsbury Studio Bid Application Form must be submitted by the deadline detailed on the Bid Application Form.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact the artsUCL Producer, Dan Edge, at d.edge@ucl.ac.uk.
