โ 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.
