Winchester Student Union operates a zero tolerance policy towards drugs and alcohol misuse. Therefore any-one deemed intoxicated, or under the influence, will not be permitted entry.

Winchester Student Union operates a random search policy. If you refuse a search request, entry will not be permitted.

Signing-In Policy

Students with an NUS Extra Card can sign in 1 guest per event. To sign-in a guest you must buy your tickets in advance from the Box Office (at Level 1, University Centre, main campus). You will be asked for your guests name, and will be issued your event ticket, plus a guest ticket. The name on the guest ticket is non-transferable. Your guest must provide proof of age upon entry. Accepted proof of age ID is listed above.

Students who sign in a guest, take full responsibility for their guests behaviour and are liable for any disciplinary action if their guest is involved in, or causes any incidents whereby house rules & policies are broken. Please note no guests are permitted during Freshers Fortnight.
