Find us on Google Maps.- Bar policy
If you're visiting one of our bars, familiarise yourself with our bar entry policy, designed to keep us all safe. Please note unless specified last entry is Midnight.
We want you to feel comfortable, safe, and at home when you're spending time in our bars or event spaces which is why we uphold a number of safety initiatives in all our bars including specific measures against spiking and harassment. All our bar staff have also undertaken Drink Spiking Awareness and Active Bystander training- Do I need a ticket to get in?
It's best to think of free bar event tickets as a way to register your interest rather than guaranteeing access. We recommend booking a free ticket as we use this information to work out if a venue will be near capacity and also to send you a reminder about the event nearer the time. However, having or not having a ticket will not determine if you can access an event as we operate a first-come-first-served policy for accessing the bars, so if you are on campus – feel free to pop by and join in if there’s space on the night.
