Student Bookings (Individual Practice)
Individuals can book slots in Edge spaces to dance, play our pianos, practice your instrument or sing, design and edit, and take a bit of time for your creative and mental wellbeing.
Individual room bookings are available in the spaces listed above and are limited to a maximum of 2 hours per day, up to 4 hours total per week.
What you need to do:
- Sign up for free annual Edge Membership. Edge Membership allows you to book our individual practice rooms throughout the year. It is open to all current students, both undergraduate and postgraduate. Membership will last for the duration of the academic year and will expire on 31/07.
- Wait a full 24 hours for the membership to process!
- Whilst you wait, get familiar with our Using Agora & Booking Rooms in The Edge document below, on how to make a booking, important things to know, terms of use, cancelling bookings, and what to check if experiencing access issues.
Using Agora & Booking Rooms in The Edge
Student Group Bookings
SU societies and groups can book the Edge for a variety of needs.
All rooms booked by a society will be accessible to all their society members automatically, enabling them to access the room via the Edge building door system with their library cards (so long as they have a valid society membership).
Student groups must have a valid risk assessment for their activities and agree to the Edge’s rules of usage on behalf of all their members. Misuse of spaces or equipment may result in the group’s access being revoked.
Regular Bookings
SU societies and groups can request to have regular activity bookings in The Edge that run for each academic year. This can be for group rehearsals, society-run classes, and regular society activities.
SU societies are invited to request regular activity bookings during Semester 2 of the previous academic year. The SU Arts team will then evaluate all requests and allocate bookings as per the needs of the societies, The Edge’s specialised facilities and availability.
Ad-hoc Bookings
If groups want to make ad-hoc bookings for additional rehearsals or one-off activities, the committee can use The Edge’s online room-booking portal Agora. To enable all groups to book rooms fairly, ad-hoc society room bookings are limited to a maximum of 2 hours per day, 6 hours per week.
Student Group Bookings
For spaces that are not available on Agora, or exceed the booking limit above, the group should contact su-arts@bath.ac.uk.
Shows and Events
Each year, societies host dozens of shows and events in The Edge. From large-scale musicals to band nights and everything in between, The Edge is the perfect venue to showcase your society’s creative activity.
To allow all groups opportunities to perform, SU groups are invited to request show and event slots in the Edge during Semester 2 of the previous academic year. These requests will be evaluated and allocated by SU Arts for the following year.
For additional shows or new ideas throughout the academic year, get in touch with su-arts@bath.ac.uk [LINK: EMAIL SU-ARTS@BATH.AC.UK] to see what spaces/times might be available.
