Durham Activities
From The Student RoomTSR Wiki > University > Choosing a University > University Guides > Durham > Things to do in Durham when you're a student Right, since Durham is notorious for having a lack of nightlife, I thought I'd give a quick overview of exactly what there is!
NightclubsKlute (officially the worst club in Europe - plays cheese, is ridiculously small), Rixies (bigger than Klute, free tequila on Tuesdays), Walkabout (Australian theme thing), Studio (actually good. Does RnB nights on Monday and 50p entry on Tuesdays when you get 50p chips at the takeaway over the road as well), Fishtank (plays indie and generally 'alternative' music.) PubsLoads. Swan & 3 cygnets, Hog's Head, Varsity, Wetherspoon's, Shakespeare, The New Inn. Many more. CafesHollathan's, Saddler's, Vennel's, Brown Sugar, Caffe Nero, Costa... loads of others! BarsJimmy Allen's, which is good. Chase - does nice cocktails Also there are all the college bars to explore, where drinks are all really cheap! If you want proper club songs there's always Planet of Sound at the Union on a Friday night and the Union regularly puts on events like Back to School and I Can't Believe It's Not Cheese. If you're getting really desperate you can easily go for a night out in Newcastle, Sunderland or Middlesborough, but I have never felt the need to leave Durham!! |
