Everyone at the Students’ Union has been working day in day out over the summer months to provide new and existing students an experience they won’t forget. Thousands and Thousands of pounds has been poured into a truly A list line up. Joining us at Park Bar this year will be; RADIO ONE DJ SCOTT MILLS, performing LIVE - SONIQUE, old skool legends DJ LUCK & MC NEAT, ATOMIC KITTEN star NATASHA HAMILTON, welsh rock star IAN WATKINS from the LOST PROPHETS not to mention THE WIDEBOYS, CLAIRE EVERS, SHIPWRECKED WINNERS, SHY FX, MC SYSTEM, JK. And the mother of house music GRAMMA FUNK performing her MASSIVE Groove Armada hit I SEE YOU BABY! We are also ecstatic to welcome T4’s very own presenter and fashion guru ALEXA CHUNG Djin for the masses of Park Bar. If this wasn’t enough the Students’ Union is over the moon to be supported by BIG names brands kitting out your SU, injecting a bit of fun into your night is the notational recognised brand FLIRT!, alongside CREAM ANTHEMS and the legendary HEADPHONE DISCO. However, this is nothing compared to the line up for the live finale of the festival which takes place at the very prestigious Centaur building at Cheltenham Racecourse. We invite you all to join us as we open Rome to celebrate the return of the Emperor at CEASEARS BALL. You will be joined by none other than EDITH BOWMAN, N TRANCE (performing a classics set), SWA and for the first time in Cheltenham’s history AUDIO BULLYS will be performing a mind blowing LIVE, yes LIVE set of all their past and future hits.
Keeping with the Students’ Union policy of developing and nurturing talent we are pleased to present the crème de la crème of local and student stars. Performing alongside these superstar acts are: Cheltenham’s very own answer to stardom miss Lizzie Curious performing a LIVE set of classics and work from her debut album - Different Things, DJs Sytek & Robinson mixing up the best tunes using fx units, bongos & keyboards, the Multi Awarding wining DJ Fade, known up and down the country on the Hip Hop scene complimented by Toy Soldiers who are undoubtedly the best Break Dancers in the West of England. Coming up from South Wales to play a special live set are Friends Electric known throughout the South for their unique blend of live rock and disco house, MC Tippa - Birmingham’s answer to Jay Z, Pittville’s very own award winning DJ Clarkson (who has recently DJ’d with the likes of Zane Lowe) and last but not least we are proud to welcome back the Beatboxing, Guitar Playing and MCin extraordinaire’s DUKE stopping off at your SU before finishing their UK Tour! (And these are the warm ups!) Catch your breath before we carry on….
Understanding that not all students’ want late nights and loud music the Students’ Union has kindly offered a chill out room at every large event and special line up for those wanting a relaxing evening but still want to be entertained. With the all time favorite Reguritator returning alongside a fantastic hypnotist show from Tony Lee and his in house comedian and game nights including WII, poker and pool competitions you’d be a fool to miss out on this years truly magnificent entertainment itinerary. All of the large events are taking place in the largest of the SU Bars - Park, but fear not, all of the other campus’ will be open for business as usual offering smaller entertainments to suit your mood and budget.
And still that’s not all, the SU is proud to announce that you will have the opportunity to witness the largest Freshers Fayre in the History of the University. In the past students have had the option to attend a three day fayre, not no more, all three days have been rolled into one massive event, taking over Park Campus for a 2000+ capacity fayre. Here you can find information on all the SU services, sports teams and societies as well as snapping up some bargains from local and national retailers, clubs and services.
Still not impressed? Then keep your eyes pealed for what it destined to be the largest Fresher’s five aside football tournament in Park’s history taking place in the induction fortnight. Afterwards why not be the first to join the SU family in the newly refurbished Park Bar, which may I say, looks truly dazzling.

Your Students’ Union
