Door Entry Policy

Please be aware that SIA-licensed security will search you and your belongings upon entry to an event. This is for the protection of everyone, including our staff, venue, and license. As required by our license agreement, we take a systemic approach to searches.
All persons will be searched. There are no exceptions for Performers, Acts, or DJs.
Upon entry, you may be asked for a valid photo ID as proof of age. This must be a government-issued ID document, such as a passport, national identity card, or driving licence, presented physically to our staff. Failure to present the prerequisite ID may result in non-admission.
Our Bar Staff operates the Think 25 Campaign. Please be prepared to show the relevant ID when purchasing an alcoholic beverage. If you cannot provide the required ID to verify your age, you will be refused service for alcohol.

We provide accessible, step-free access via the front door, and a lift facilitates access to the Bar and RISE, our venue. In the event of an emergency, please make your way to the refuge point outside the lift, where staff will meet you and facilitate your emergency escape.
There are accessible toilets on the floor of the Bar and RISE.
Regular bar operations are Monday through Friday, Midday – Midnight. On event nights, the venue and bar will open later, as per our licensable conditions.

CCTV is in operation throughout the Goldsmiths Students’ Union building. The CCTV system is internally managed by Goldsmiths Students’ Union and is implemented for the purposes of Prevention of Crime and Disorder.
For information on our CCTV policy, please contact welcome@goldsmithssu.org or call 020 7717 2511.

Admission will be refused to Students, Staff, and Patrons who appear to act in a manner that raises reasonable suspicion that they may be under the influence of drink and/or controlled substances.
