About the venue

The SU Venue is a 1440-capacity nightclub that plays host to weekly Wednesday and Friday club nights, plus tons of amazing society performances throughout the year.

We’ve had some incredible artists performing over the years from Sigma and Nathan Dawe to Big Narstie and Becky Hill. It’s not just big club nights you’ll find here though as we also host loads of student group performances on our main stage.
