Entertainment

More than a degree, it's a way of life

Budget movies, cafes, restaurants, and an award winning bar; ensure that you get plenty of opportunity to enjoy your time at UOW.

We encourage students to use the UniBar as a performance and/or meeting space and it is also available to hire as a function venue.

Band night at the UniBar

As well as regular band nights, we host heats for the National Campus Band Comp and DJ Comp in the UniBar and provide a diverse range of lunchtime entertainment, including live music, comedians, trivia, pool comps, debates, and market days.

To check out what is coming up each week at the UniBar during session visit the UniBar website.

Market Days are a regular feature of student life at UOW. Markets are held around the Duck Pond lawn throughout the year and offer a chance to pick up a bargain.

Individual students and clubs and societies are invited to participate by setting up stalls to sell clothes, artefacts, art, handicrafts, bric-a-brac etc. To hold a stall contact Adene at adene@uow.edu.au.
