Pub history

Sanctuary Bar

Originally a student refectory/music venue, Sanctuary Bar is a merger of the Students’ Union and Athletic Union bars – a more comfortable, safe and enjoyable place for students. While still a music venue, Travis played here in 1999. With one of the largest beer gardens locally, it’s an ideal place to watch student life. University College Hull’s foundation stone was laid in 1927 by Prince Albert of York. With its royal charter of 6 Sept 1954, it officially became the University of Hull.
