Have A Good Night Out

We all love a big night out, and when you first move into your new Worcester student accommodation, you’ll notice how close you are to some of the best student nights out in town. There are quite a few different student-specific nights out, as well as student-friendly bars and clubs that the locals also frequent. In a small city like Worcester, you’ll be glad to hear that it is a very friendly town, welcoming students from all over the UK and abroad.

The Hangar (SU – St. John’s Campus)

The Hangar is the Students’ Union at the University of Worcester and there is always a really busy programme of events and activities going on. It is the place to be if you want to take part in the regular Comedy nights, Quiz Nights, and other type of fundraising events. Friday night is always karaoke night, and behind the bar is all the favourite student drinks, like VKs, alcoholic slush puppies and cocktails.

The Firefly (Lowesmoor)

As well as being a great place for good food, The Firefly is also a really good place to go for live music and regular DJ sets. It might be a little bit outside of the city centre, but it is well worth the walk (or taxi) out.

Hand in Glove (College Street)

This is a really cool, student-friendly bar that has a really comfortable ambience and is a nice place to hang out with a group of friends and listen to alternative music.

Tramps (Angel Place)

This is one of the biggest student nights in town, with the nightclub that is the largest venue in the whole of Worcester. The building is a grand part of town, it used to be the Town Hall. There are five dance floors and six bars, and is open every single night of the week.

The Oil Basin (Copenhagen Street)

This Brewhouse is one of the best pubs in the whole of Worcester, with the triple-skull Wintrip Brew Co logo fluttering on a flag out front to mark its territory. It definitely has a bohemian-inspired aesthetic, and is the perfect place for anyone looking for something a little bit alternative. The Oil Basin is widely known as a pub that caters for vegans, as well as those with gluten-intolerances.

Velvets (Angel Place)

This is one of the biggest student nights out in Worcester. The lounges are luxurious, the drinks and cocktails will flow, and there’s a big dancefloor to really let yourself go to a soundtrack from the 80s and 90s, big RnB classics, electro music and dancefloor anthems from the 00s, spread out over 4 rooms.

Paradiddle’s Cafe (Sidbury)

Paradiddle’s manages to bridge that gap between daytime cafe and a laid back ambience, and a lively music spot in the night. It is always involved in the local music scene, promoting local bands and putting on regular live shows – with an 85-capacity venue in the music bar (you can also buy CDs made by local artists).

The Old Rectifying House (North Parade)

This is the place to go if you are after a dance to some music that is a little bit more obscure than you’d usually find on a club night. The Old Rec is in an old building that overlooks the River Severn, with great food and drink, and extensive cocktail menu, a lounge bar and outdoor seating, with a main room that plays host to regular DJs.
