❗ Safety in Our Venues

Y Plas is one of the largest Students' Union nightclubs in the UK and home to some of the biggest student events in the country. Creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment is at the heart of everything we do.

As a not-for-profit Students' Union, we invest heavily in welfare, security, trained staff and venue safety measures so that students can enjoy their night with confidence.

We ask everyone attending YOLO to play their part by respecting fellow students, following staff instructions and ensuring their behaviour reflects our Code of Practice.
