Joining a society whilst at university is a great opportunity to make friends and experience something new! Here at Bristol SU we have over 360 different clubs, sports and societies. Whatever your interests, our societies can cater to you. And if not, you can even start one up yourself! To give you an idea of the range of opportunities on offer, we’ve chosen a few of our most unusual societies.

Battling and training, catching and collecting or trying to complete the vast Pokédex you can do it here. They are a club welcoming beginners and professional trainers for some fun. They often meet at wetherSpoons or watch the Pokémon films. Becoming a member also gets you 10% off at Forbidden Planet.
