Y Plas is our multi-purpose venue for both daytime social learning and nightime entertainment. Featuring a mezzanine balcony, new bars, a glass roof and state of the art decor, our recent redevelopment has had excellent feedback from our students.

If you’re here writing an essay or need somewhere to eat your lunch during the day between lectures, feel free to make yourself at home. We’ve got free wifi, natural lighting, and we’ve even got plug sockets in the booths upstairs. You can also take a break from studying and grab a coffee from Starbucks in the food court.

Party the night away at our legendary Wednesday night clubnight YOLO, or watch your favourite artists perform on the stage.
