Leeds Beckett Students' Union (formerly Leeds Student Union) serves as the representative body for students at Leeds Beckett University. The Union building itself has undergone significant development over the years; the current main building opened in 2016 following a £6 million refurbishment. It provides a range of facilities including performance spaces, bars, shops, and support services for students. The venue regularly hosts live music events featuring both established and emerging artists, alongside club nights and student-led activities. It’s a key social hub within the university campus and contributes to student life beyond academic pursuits. The venue’s capacity varies depending on the space used for events; the main hall can accommodate several hundred attendees.
