Groups can book rooms in University House and across the University to use for their activities and events. To request to book a space, please submit the below form.

Please note: we require at least 3 working days to process bookings and cannot always guarantee your preferred space. If your event involves a large number of people, serving food, or complex set up please give 3 weeks notice.

Student Societies and Clubs should make the Student Opportunities Coordinator aware of their event before making a room booking request.

The North Side

The North Side is the main student space within the Students' Union. It is split into three main spaces; This End, That End, and The Pillars.

• This End is a social space for all students to use throughout the day. It cannot be booked and any bookings in other spaces must account for potential of noise bleedthrough from any activity in the space.
• That End is a semi-private space which can be booked. It has a large main projector and speakers, ideal for presentations or workshops.
• The Pillars is a workspace for students which can be booked just like That End, and has a large TV/computer which can be used for presentations and workshops. Surrounding the Pillars are small meeting rooms which can be booked.

Please note that all of these spaces are semi-private and as such there is the potential for noise bleedthrough on events. 

Please note that all of these spaces are semi-private and as such there is the potential for noise bleedthrough on events.

*We advise groups visiting the spaces before booking to understand the best space for their events.

External Speakers

Any bookings with external speakers (any speaker who is not a current USSU / UoS student or staff member) must have an approved Freedom of Speech form. We will not confirm bookings with external speakers until a Freedom of Speech form has been submitted and approved. You can find the form and more information online.

Risk Assessments

If your event is one of the following then you will be required to fill out a risk assessment: large scale events, non-SU activities, any activity requiring food, and any activity with external speakers. If you are unsure of how to do this, please send us an email on roombookings-ussu@salford.ac.uk.

Food and Catering

If you are planning on booking food for your event, please give at least 2-3 weeks’ notice, particularly for larger events.

Atmosphere Food Orders - If you have asked for Atmosphere to provide tea/coffee or snacks at your event, we will forward your booking information to Atmosphere. Please be advised that any food/drink will be invoiced to you direct. If you are a society then the society will be invoiced.

External takeaway – You will need to include food safety information and hygiene ratings, and a risk assessment form.

External caterer – If you are using an external caterer you will need to provide personal liability insurance, food safety qualifications of the organisation, their own Risk Assessment, and their council star rating.
