Students' Union Spaces

Step 1: Choose your space

Decide on what are and equipment you would like to book for your activity. During undergrad term time we don’t recommend doing this before 4pm as the building can be very busy for lunch. Conversely if you are wanting to book a table (e.g. for a bake sale or promotion) 10am-4pm is likely the times you will get the most engagement. See the different space options here for more information.

 

Step 2: Make sure you are ready to book

The group you are booking on behalf on needs to have completed their annual risk assessment and reaffiliation before you can book the space, make sure you do this first as you booking will be rejected if this is not completed. Additionally there may be two additional requirements if you are hosting an external speaker (e.g. a panel talk) or booking for an activity where you will serve food (e.g. bake sale, potluck)

 

Step 3: Make a reservation

You can automatically reserve the space you want at any available time using our automated booking tool here (for Union Brew, other spaces below)

 

Step 4: Await confirmation

We will be in touch shortly should we require any other information, or to confirm your booking If you haven't heard back and it has been two working days, or it is less than 2 days until your event, or if your event required special arrangements or for any other query please send an email to unionbrew@abdn.ac.uk.

Union Brew @ Students' Union Building Union Brew is located in the Students' Union Building, part of the Old Aberdeen Campus. While the spaces around union brew are open to the public, whenever the café is open, you can book a section of the space for an event or stall. You can book either the upper or the lower section of union brew for an event, this is perfect if you want to run a larger event with your club and society, but don't mind the public being present in other parts of the venue.  Bookings can be made by Students' or University staff for Student activities or University departments, these bookings are not suitable for private or commercial bookings. For external and commercial bookings please arrange these with our media partner here. For exhibitions at Union Brew, bookings can be made here.

 

Little Brew @ Hillhead halls We are working on getting this set up on the website too, please email unionbrew@abdn.ac.uk to book this space now!
