The venue will also be made available for students to book out and use for events of their own. Furthermore, the venue will work as a space for the Students’ Union to hold client-based events and exhibitions.

“Many of you will be aware of the fact that our Students’ Union nightclub which held hugely popular nights, such as the infamous Tooters, has been closed for some time now. Whether you experienced the venue first-hand or have heard tales of the legend of a Friday night Toot on campus, its presence has been sorely missed. Now, thanks to you, our students, and the efforts of Esyllt and Gwern in making sure YOUR voices are heard, we’re happy to announce your SU is working closely with the University Estates team to support a capital investment of over one million pounds.

“This investment will completely refurbish the venue and create a reinvigorated and exciting multi-purpose space that can be used by our students, business partners, stakeholders, and wider community, and one which raises the profile of both the Students’ Union and University. The Students’ Union vision for the new venue is that it will be designed, managed and operated to provide an exceptional new space on campus that can engage the student community by holding a wide variety of events and activities, including those that require specialist technical production.”
