Last month, we mentioned we had something exciting to share with you but couldn’t tell you yet. Well guess what? Now we can!
Earlier this year, we put out a survey to students about the Students’ Union and it included a few questions about our building and what you felt it needed. Students fed back to us that they wanted a safe, inclusive space on campus where they could grab some food, have a drink and most importantly, come together with other students to socialise.
We have a great space to be able to accommodate all of that and we’re excited to open it on Wednesday 14th September from 3pm!
We’re going to be honest though, it’s not completely ready and that’s because we want students involved in creating and improving the space over the next few weeks. The space is currently nameless, has a temporary food menu and needs some love and attention. It’s important this space feels accessible to all which is why it’s not just “a Students’ Union bar” – it’s going to be different.
Hopefully, there’s something for everyone, from smoothies and milkshakes (including vegan options) to cocktails, beer and barista coffee. There’s also a tasty selection of stone baked pizzas to choose from.
There’s going to be lots of opportunities for any students to share ideas, suggestions and feedback on the space and what you want to see happen to it. Who knows, maybe your suggestion for a new name will be the one that inspires us!
But first, we’ll be kicking things off after the Sports Fair from 3pm before we have Drag Karaoke from 8pm. In a couple of weeks’ time, we’ll also be launching our weekly speed quiz night every Monday at 8pm.
One of the best things about our commercial outlets is we employ a team of students to help us deliver excellent customer service and a great experience, there will always be a welcoming face to say hello so come and see us, we’ve missed socialising with you all.
