The Students' Union

Whether you choose to live on campus or in town, the Students' Union is at the heart of campus life.

We offer a range of facilities and activities; come along and see us at the freshers' fair for further information. Within hours of arriving on campus you'll be making friends and finding out even more about student life. We also have an advice centre, where staff can help with any problems whether financial, academic or health-related. The Union staff office is upstairs in the Eskdale building.

The Gincase is at the heart and soul of campus life. Events range from themed events, live bands and DJs, to jackpot quiz nights. Located in the middle of the campus, we have a garden area with patio heaters and BBQ facilities as well as a dedicated games room for use throughout the day and night. An entertainments committee made up of students puts the events programme together, so if you want something specific, why not get yourself on the committee and help organise it!

A safety bus provides free transport between Penrith and the campus each Tuesday and Thursday evening.
You're encouraged to participate in the various clubs and societies that exist at the campus, including:

Badminton Club
Canoe Club
Football Club
Rugby Club
Netball Club
Karate Club
Hockey Club
Ski Club
Basketball Club
Mountain Activities Club
Equestrian Club
Conservation Society
Working Ferret Society
Forestry Society
Music Society

Each of these clubs and societies is run for the students by the students. The Students' Union offers financial and administrative support for anyone wishing to set up a new club and has a clubs and societies co-ordinator to help you.
