Taking place until the early hours for all you seasoned trainers to get a chance at catching 'em all on the dancefloor, Pokémon Rave is a top choice of nostalgic things to do this October. Think costume contests, mascots dressed up as your favourites, themed visuals, confetti drops, party tunes and more to transport you to the world of Pokémon.

Let loose and dance yourself silly to Britney, Jovi, Celine and friends at Popworld. This fun and fabulous retro den embraces all thing cheese, with a playlist of guilty pleasures, old school decor and a giant disco ball.

No need to eat beans on toast all week to afford a great night out at this student haven...the city's premium alternative student hot-spot, 'Big Wednesdays' is an event with attitude. Expect the best in Indie/Rock jams and Motown beats, and plenty of pocket change-friendly drink deals. 

If you want to party every day of the week, Missing is your bar. While not strictly a student night, this party-heavy gay bar has Unicorn Disco at the start of the week, where not only do they bring the tunes till the early hours of the morning, but drinks are a pound.
