Music and Nightlife

Stirling has a buzzing music and nightlife scene. The city is full of unique venues, pubs, and clubs, many of which throw special events and offer deals especially for students.

Slanj-a-va is a popular student bar in Stirling, and Wetherspoons is a firm favourite for a budget-friendly pint.

Meanwhile. music fans can get their gig fix with regular live music nights at our very own Student's Union, The Macrobert Arts Centre or at The Tolbooth in Stirling town centre.

If that's not enough for you, don't forget that Scotland's two largest and most cosmopolitan cities are less than an hour away. Some of the country's largest and most iconic venues, like the SECC Hydro, Usher Hall, The Barrowlands and O2 Academy are all within easy reach.
