Entertainment and Going Out in Aberystwyth

Its true Aberystwyth is not the largest City in the world, and we cannot compete with London, New York, or Paris for the breadth and depth of entertainments but we don’t fall short of offering something for everyone 24/7, 365 days a year. We offer a social and cultural experience which is the envy of much bigger towns but we retain the intimate charm and friendliness associated with a campus, community based University. It’s another reason why 94% of students when asked what University they would choose to study at if they were given another opportunity stated they would choose Aberystwyth!
