URY and Litsoc present a frightening live horror event happening right here on York Uni campus this Halloween.
Taking place in complete darkness in the very creepy location of Heslington Hall, we dare you to listen to 3 originally written and produced horror stories.
It is a FREE event, no tickets needed, just a lot of nerve. All the scares and screams will be broadcast LIVE on URY as well at 6-7pm this Halloween.
So if you think you can last the hour in pitch black darkness we challenge you to come and be part of a special one-off URY event.
Good luck, we'll be waiting...
Join us as URY host the YUSU Elections Results Night 2015. With George Lane and Caterina Soave taking care of analysis of the results and URY's very own Harry Whittaker, Alex Light, Claire Thomas and Hattie Chatfield on stage revealing the results on the night.
Show comprising 3 final year undergraduates taking a look at that inevitable question of 'what next?'... through the medium of entertainment. Alongside a special guest each week (we'll sort these- people with varying weird and wonderful things lined up for them after uni), we'll look to sift through one more potential life choice every week as we count down towards the end of university. The planned format of the show will look to include an interview with our special guest as they join us for a whole host of potential silly features including:
- Helen and Judy's travelling tips. Being seasoned travellers of Asia, the pair will reveal another wacky story from their travelling experiences each week.
- 'Fit it in my Fro' - special guest will look to fit a different object each week into Joe's afro. Feature will also include leaderboard based on nature of object chosen and how many they managed to fit in his hair.
- 'Joe's chimes' or a title to that effect. Comic song, recorded specially for the show every week, written by Joe on a subject messaged in to the show/something to do with the idea of 'what's next?'
- Interview with our special guest on what his/her plan is for next year and/or what they are currently doing having now graduated. Many exciting people lined up!
- 'Decipher Judy/Helen' or title to that effect- feature involving Joe/listeners attempting to guess certain scottish accented words in English or Gaelic.
Show's music will probably be around 6 songs and will be a competition between Joe, Helen and Judy (2 songs each) on who has picked the best music for that day. Potentially based around the 'what next' theme for that show!
In a nutshell, light-hearted entertainment show looking at the serious question of 'what's next?'. Aimed then at current final years but also applicable for all years. Will also look to have jingle for the show- playing on idea of 'tweedle Dum' (Helen/Judy), tweedle De (Helen/Judy) and Me (Joe).
Less than a year after boxing took centre stage for the opening ceremony of Roses 2015 it's back in the spotlight as "The Fighter" comes to York.

Listen to the drama of 9 amateur bouts to see which York students will triumph like Rocky and which will end up just biting the dust.
Taking you through '70s and '80s post punk and indie through to modern day alternative rockers, In Between Days begins on a lively note and gradually dials down the distortion with the classics (and the not-so-classics) of indie, rock and britpop, plus a special guest, plus shoegaze.
In this one off special episode - Marco will be taking you through a journey of prog rock - with all those extra long songs one hour simply isn't enough!
