Prepare to be transported back to the USU of the 1970s with our Reading Room Retrospective - an immersive historical performance inviting you into a snapshot of the Holme Building Reading Room in its heyday.

Across 45 minutes, you’ll interact with key University characters, experience the bustling heart of campus life, and vote on a pressing (but fictional) USU referendum at the end. Join us to be thrown back in time, from the comfort of the Holme Reading Room.

All welcome.

Food & drink provided.

This event is presented by USU Archives and Verge Gallery.
