What's on in Your Union

You can find the entire Freshers’ events line-up on the reverse, but here we’ve gathered the highlights of term one to give you a taste of what’s in store over the next few months. As the listings show, there’s no such thing as a ‘typical’ LeedsUniversity Union event. We host everything from 5,000 capacity multi-venue nights with the biggest names through to more personal events aimed at connecting people with common interests.

You can find the full event calendar for term one on the website.We’ll keep adding to it as events are confirmed.
