We run loads of events across our venues to help you enjoy the social side of university life. To help make things more affordable, we run a number of offers across the week - from £1.95 drinks at Toast to double down deals on food and drink at The Packhorse every Tuesday. This year, we've also introduced Thursday 3s and Saturday 7s at The Packhorse - two nights targeted directly at combating the impacts of the Cost of Living Crisis on your disposable income. Take a look at what's on with our events calendar.

If you’re looking to develop a new skill, flex your creative muscles, or simply unwind after a day of lectures, you’ll find something in our calendar of Give It A Go events. These are smaller-scale events (many of which are completely free) that are predominantly alcohol-free and focused on you meeting new people in a fun, relaxed and welcoming environment. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie, culture vulture or just love a bit of art and craft, we'll have something for you.

This year, we introduced our brand-new app RHSU Order which you can use across our venues (Tommy's Kitchen, Medicine, The Packhorse, Union Shop and the SU Venue) to order, collect points and earn rewards that can be redeemed against future food and drink purchases. You can download the app from Google Play or the App Store.

We know that sometimes the cost of joining a student group can feel overwhelming, especially if your budget is tight. We also know that joining a student group can be one of the most rewarding parts of university life. It can introduce you to new people, perspectives and passions, and we’re really keen to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to experience that. That is where our Student Group Access Fund comes in - you can request up to £150 each academic year if you need it, to cover things such as group membership fees, kit and competition entry.

Whether you're on committee or a member of a club, check out this blog on how to overcome financial barriers when getting involved in a student group.
