FANCY A NIGHT OUT?

Head for the craft beer selection at Heidrun, cocktails of all persuasions at Bar Botanic, live music and an even livelier atmosphere at The Antelope. High Wycombe is renowned for independent bars with real character, and, of course, we have a couple of ‘Spoons and chain pubs to cater for those of you who like a full English to go with your pint. All within a couple of minutes’ walk of BNU campus and our accommodation.

NIGHTLIFE?

Just saying, easily the best nightclub in town is our very own The Venue in the Bucks Students’ Union with the infamous Frat Night Friday, regular live bands, theme nights, live appearances and the monthly Saturday Crash night. But if you want to try somewhere different, there are plenty of other bars and clubs in the town centre, many with all night licenses.

The Old Town Hall is your place for alternative comedy nights and up and coming artists plus Bingo Revolution, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. It is Bingo, but not as you know it!

High Wycombe also has a vibrant Arts centre with live music, art classes and drama easily accessible by BNU students and local artists.

Whatever you are looking for, High Wycombe will have something for you.

OR LIVE MUSIC?

The brilliant PennFest music festival is right on your doorstep! Now in its 11th year, it gets bigger and better each time, and now has a top name line up. It’s easy to get to from High Wycombe and you can camp for the weekend to enjoy the two stages, bars and food venues. They even do a VIP toilet pass!

As well as the larger music venues there are many more intimate settings in local pubs and clubs that stage bands at all levels, adding to the vibrant music scene in High Wycombe.

A BIT OF CULTURE YOU SAY?

The Swan Theatre is right on the doorstep of the University and attracts famous names for a variety of comedy, music, opera, dance and cultural events (and it is where we hold our graduation ceremony so you can get a bit of practice in).
