We know how stressful uni can be– with countless hours of work to do it, occasionally you just need to let out some steam. Through exciting activities and events we encourage students to de-stress while developing teamwork and problem solving skills and most importantly having fun!

Some of our notable events include movie/musical nights, themed events and weekly Karaoke nights.

Since the start of the pandemic, the Theatre and performing arts industry has taken a heavy toll so starting this year, we aim to host a variety of fund-raising events in which part will be donated to the West End Theatre Support fund.
