Make a booking

 

Step 1: Choose your space

Decide on what are and equipment you would like to book for your activity. During undergrad term time we don’t recommend doing this before 4pm as the building can be very busy for lunch. Conversely if you are wanting to book a table (e.g. for a bake sale or promotion) 10am-4pm is likely the times you will get the most engagement. See the different space options here for more information.

 

Step 2: Make sure you are ready to book

The group you are booking on behalf on needs to have completed their annual risk assessment and reaffiliation before you can book the space, make sure you do this first as you booking will be rejected if this is not completed. Additionally there may be two additional requirements if you are hosting an external speaker (e.g. a panel talk) or booking for an activity where you will serve food (e.g. bake sale, potluck)

Get your activity set up for events with food

If you want to serve food at events and you need to get your Society, Sports Club, Forum or Students' Group set up for food serving. You will need to download a copy of our risk assessment template here, read it, sign it, and add any specific risks you identify for your circumstances.

Then upload this in this form. We will let you know if there are any issues, you only need to do this once each academic year.   

If you want to have alcohol at your event special arrangements will need to be made due to licencing laws, for this please contact the licence holder by email to joseph.huttich3@abdn.ac.uk

External speakers

Please complete this form with the details of all external speakers, you must complete this form once for each booking.
