Can I bring a non-Westminster friend to UWSU events?
Our events are restricted to Westminster students. There might be instances when we do allow students to bring a guest to an event, however, please make sure you read the event description to find out more information. Guests would need to bring a valid photographic ID such as a driver's license or passport, and be registered at the relevant campus security desk in order to gain access to the campus.
Do I need to book a ticket in advance or can I pay at the door?
We highly encourage you to book your ticket in advance to avoid queuing or even missing out on an event. Due to venue capacity, we may allow entry on a 'one in, one out' basis, however this is subject to the type of event. Please make sure you read the event description carefully. For any queries about our events, you can always DM us on social media or email su-events@westminster.ac.uk.
What ID do I need to bring with me on a night out?
You will need to bring your Westminster Student ID and photographic proof of age ID (driving license, passport or PASS card) to every event you wish attend for identification purposes.
Can I run an event in UWSU venues?
Absolutely! Our spaces are designed for students to use; if you'd like to run an event as part your course project, or if you have an innovative idea for an event, we'd be glad to accomodate you. We do have processes in place to faciliate your event so make sure you get in touch to learn more – email su-events@westminster.ac.uk.
Are drinks cheaper at UWSU events?
Uhhh, yes! We work hard to ensure our prices remain cheaper than your typical central London venues. We understand the financial toll the cost of living crisis has had on students and do our best to accomodate fair prices without comprising on the student experience.
How do I reclaim lost property?
Fear not, we've all lost a thing or two at events – it's an unfortunate side effect of having too much fun! Simply email su-commercial@westminster.ac.uk and provide details of the lost item, the venue and event, and the date of when you believe you lost the item. We cannot guarantee that any lost items will have been found by a member of staff or handed in by a student, but do check with us regardless.
What is The Hideaway and where can I find it?
The Hideaway is our snazzy Central London social space based in Regent Street campus. This venue was refurbished in 2019 and boasts a modern look with state of the art lighting rigs and audio set up, and plenty of comfortable seating spaces. It is a venue for you to socialise with your mates, get some work done if needed, AND enjoy Starbucks drinks that's cheaper than the high street. When you cross the barriers at Regent Street campus, turn right and head down the stairs, or take the lift down, and The Hideaway will be staring you right in the face.

Based in Harrow campus, this hidden gem is located on the other side of campus. When you arrive through The Forum, simply keep heading straight past The Street and the UWSU Shop.
