Halloween ACC at Infernos!

Whether you have been at Imperial for a while or this is your first year, if you enjoy the party scene you will have heard about ACC. Known as the biggest ICU event nights throughout the year, Beit Quad adds a club scene in Metric to its classic Wednesday sports night. 

Halloween ACC is particularly popular, so ticket demand is especially high. This year, the event was not hosted in Union Venues, but in popular Clapham nightclub Infernos. ICU Sports Chair Stefaniia Medvetskaia comments on record-breaking sales last year (more than a thousand tickets sold out in 3 minutes) and on ICU’s goal to deliver high event quality to as many students as possible, which has resulted in choosing Infernos as this year’s spooky venue. The Union strives to collaborate with as many different London venues as possible, with the challenge being balancing availability, convenience for students, and affordability. Other event venues include Electric Brixton, Heaven, and Clapham Grand. 

November’s ACC is expected to be back in Beit.
