🎉 Official Freshers Events
Cardiff Students' Union hosts the only official Freshers' events in Cardiff.
Be cautious – many events advertised online are not affiliated with Cardiff University or the Students' Union.
For the best and safest Freshers' experience, book all your events through our official website:
cardiffstudents.com.
🧑🤝🧑 Entry Policy

Advance tickets guarantee you entry until 21:00. After this time, tickets remain valid; however, entry will be subject to venue capacity.
Student guests are permitted – one guest per Cardiff University student. You must provide valid photo ID (passport or driving licence) and an alternative student ID card.
❗ Safety In Our Venues
Y Plas is one of the largest Students' Union nightclubs in the UK, with the city's biggest and best club nights. We're proud that these events are a core part of the Cardiff student experience.
Ensuring students can have fun safely is fundamental to how we run every event. As a not-for-profit venue, we invest heavily in safety initiatives – from welfare spaces and trained staff to clear policies that prioritise inclusion and respect.
In return, we require our attendees to help keep themselves and others in the club safe by playing their part to keep the student community safe and ensuring at all times their behaviour in the club is in line with our Code of Practice.
