York SU Venues

What are York SU venues?

York SU venues run seperately from University venues, such as the Library Cafe. York SU venues are ran by York SU staff.

We have five venues on campus, which are the following:

The Kitchen
The Courtyard
The Glasshouse
The Vanbrugh Arms
The Lounge

Why book with a York SU venue?

Running an event at a York SU venue is cheaper and easier than renting a venue in town. Each of our five venues have a different feel to them, whether you'd like to run a pub-quiz at The Courtyard, a karaoke at The Glasshouse, or use the Lounge, which opens out to the RKC, for an exclusive event!

You can book York SU's venues (Courtyard, Glasshouse, Kitchen @ Alcuin, and The Vanbrugh Arms) for your group events. You can book anywhere from a single table all the way to an entire venue.

Plus, you can also customise your drinks offering, woth speciality cocktails or deals for your group. Get in touch with our events team at events@yorksu.org if you would like to organise this!

Complete the booking enquiry form.

Please provide as much information as possible, including contacts from your group that York SU can be in touch with to confirm and alert of any arising issues.

The events team will review the booking and confirm within 5 working days if the booking can go ahead. Once the team have booked your venue, respond to confirm that you have recieved the booking and any specific requirements you need.

Ticketed events, those which require exclusive use of a venue, and events involving external providers will run subject to all required events procedures being completed.

Complete an events application via. your member dashboard, adding tickets onto your event application.

Please only do this after your event booking has been confirmed, as event applications require confirmation of the venue booking before the link staff signs off.

Additional Need-to-Knows

Please note that it is your responsibility as the organiser to ensure that the appropriate event management form and risk assessments are completed. It is your responsibility to ensure these are submitted in time and correctly.

Please review the health and safety requirements, and contact your link staff member with any questions.

Please allow yourself plenty of time to ensure any issues can be solved prior to ticket sales going live. If any issues come up, the venue manager will be in touch. Equally, if you have any special requirements for the booking or need to cancel, please be in touch as soon as possible!
