Halls Events: Everything you need to know

Posted 1 month ago

From student conduct to photography at our events

While living in Halls, we have plenty of events and activities for you to get involved in πŸŽ‰

There's a few things you might want to know before coming along so take a look through. 

Got a question about an event or the information below? Get in touch hallslife@liverpool.ac.uk or speak to us on the night.

We can't wait to see you at an event soon! 

All of our events can be found on the Halls Life events page, in your Friday 'what's on' email or on @livunihalls Instagram and are open to students living in University of Liverpool Halls. We'll post a mix of our Welcome events, craft nights, mixers, sport events, housing events, postgrad events and so much more.


Our events are here to help you meet new people and make new friends as well, so we welcome everyone to come alone or with flatmates. You can come along to a Halls Life event at any point in the year, you don't need to be a regular. 


On arrival, you'll see the Halls Life team and our Residential Advisers so we'll be there to say Hi and welcome you :)

Vine Mezz: We host most Halls-based events in Vine Court Mezz social space as this is one of our main spaces. If you see this as the event location, the event is still open to everyone in Crown Place, Greenbank, Vine Court, Melville, Tudor, Dover and Philharmonic Court.


To get to Vine Mezz, head towards Vine Court on Chatham Street, look for the double doors under the Bertie & Bella's restaurant sign closest to Subway and head up the stairs.


An accessible entrance is available via the lift in Vine Court's A block, just around the corner (press M to get to Vine Mezz).


Please note that A block is key card access only for students living in Vine Court. Our events are open to all residents in University Halls so if you live in another Hall and require an accessible entrance, please make your way to Vine Court reception and ask a member of the team for access. You can also reach out to us hallslife@liverpool.ac.uk prior to an event.

We love to capture the moment so the team will be taking photos at our events which may be used on our social media or in other marketing materials. If you'd rather your photo wasn't taken, please speak to a member of staff at the event.

Halls events are all about getting involved, meeting new people and giving you a chance to unwind from your studies. However at some of our events we will serve some food. We always try to cater for everyone but on occasions where events are particularly busier than expected, we ask that you'd bear in mind that food is first come, first served. We recommend arriving at the start of an event to avoid any disappointment.


Allergens

Wherever we do serve food, we will provide a vegetarian, gluten free and vegan option. If you're unsure of allergens, please speak to the team on arrival and we'll provide the ingredient list or more information.


Please be reminded that these options are also first come, first served. We also ask that you're mindful of other attendees when helping yourself to food at events.


At some of our events, you'll be able to help yourself to a beer, prosecco or cider but wherever we provide alcohol, we always provide a soft drink option too.


Some of our events are exclusively alcohol-free which means we only provide soft drinks for that event. Look out for the alcohol-free badge on our events or search the tag alcohol-free on Halls Life here.

Halls events welcome all residents in University of Liverpool Halls. 


On the event page on Halls Life, you'll find specific information on the event location and accessibility.


If you have a question around accessibility before an event, please get in touch hallslife@liverpool.ac.uk and we'll be more than happy to help. If you have any concerns on arrival, please feel free to let us know and speak to a member of staff on arrival.


If an event has a Quiet Hour, you'll find this information in our advertising.
