One of the things Catz is best known for is having a very active and exciting social scene, with events happening every week! The most important of these are Entzes, biweekly college parties on Fridays in the JCR. Every Entz has a different theme to encourage creative costumes, from Name Game (dress up as a character whose name begins with the same letter as yours) to Hoedown Throwdown (Wild West costumes). Entzes always have a huge turnout and are a great opportunity to dress up, have fun with your friends, and talk to people in college that you wouldn’t usually get the chance to speak to! With popular student DJs and the largest College bar across the University, Entzes are a can’t-miss for many people.
For those who feel more comfortable in non-party environments, there are alcohol-free, reduced noise level Alternative Entzes which run in parallel to Official JCR Entzes in the Bernard Sunley building. Alt. Entz provides a social space with biscuits, crisps, and fizzy drinks, with activities including board, card, and video games. (Attendees are encouraged to bring their favourites!) All JCR members are welcome to attend both Entz so long as the calmer, quieter atmosphere of Alt. Entz is respected.
Additionally, Catz is proud to be a college which also holds a variety of “unofficial entzes” throughout the year, which are a range of events that don’t always occur on-site. These include themed club nights and joint-college nights out, musical guests performing in the JCR, and last year even had a live Catz version of ‘Take Me Out!’ Whatever your interests, there’s an Entz for you!
