📄️ Dixon Drama Studio
TechSoc was based in the Dixon from 2020 until December 2024. During this time, it served as the hub for storing our equipment, offering training sessions, and supporting shows for other societies. Located in the main Wentworth building on Campus West, next to Biology and Environment, it was also conveniently close to venues we frequently worked in, such as Central Hall and the Roger Kirk Centre. The building has been closed, pending demolition so this information is here for posterity.

At the heart of Campus West, Central Hall is the University's largest venue and can be configured in a variety of layouts to suit your event. Although the venue is managed by AV services at York, TechSoc works closely with their team to provide a wide range of technical capabilities and will handle any technical challenges in the venue.
