2025/26 Edge Theatre and Weston Studio Allocations 

As the only theatre spaces on campus, slots in the Edge Theatre and Weston Studio are very in demand throughout the year! 

For the 2025/26 academic year, we are introducing a new process for all groups who wish to put on a show or event in the Edge Theatre and/or Weston Studio. This new model allows groups to bid for available slots in the theatre calendar which will be allocated by a panel of student leaders and SU staff. This offers groups the opportunity for medium and large-scale shows in the Edge Theatre and small and medium-scale shows in the Weston Studio (with 1-3 performances per show).  

Bidding is open to all SU affiliated groups and applications must be made via the 2025-26 Edge Theatre and Weston Studio Bidding Form. We have put together bidding guidelines which detail everything you need to know about putting on shows in the Edge Theatre and Weston Studio and how to bid for a slot.

When are the deadlines? The Edge Theatre and Weston Studio are programmed a year in advance. We know how much creativity, time and work goes into every event and want to give groups the opportunity to plan and produce the best event they can. Slots are divided into standard and additional slots, which have different deadlines, for more information consult the bidding guidelines. Standard Slots: Sunday 6 April 2025, 23:59  Additional Slots: Sunday 9 November 2025, 23:59  How to apply 1.
