Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we have made the decision to cancel all of our upcoming large-scale events taking place this Summer term. 

This includes AU Ball, WSA Ball, Academic Awards, Society & Volunteering Awards and Grad Ball.  We are sorry for any disappointment caused but this is the most suitable course of action at this time.

Those of you who have already bought tickets for WSA Ball and Grad Ball will be refunded automatically (you won’t need to worry about contacting us) in due course.

Starting from this Saturday 01 February, The Bridge will be open 11.30–17.00 on Saturdays instead of the usual 11.30–23:00. This is to provide a consistent set of operating hours for general use of The Bridge each day.
