Nice.

I'd join the Unsigned Guide and get the student union contacts for uni's from their live listings section. Really good, only £4.99 a month and has sorted me out with endless contacts for promoters, radios, press etc which is really handy for someone like myself in a young originals band.

Worcester student union dive bar is worth a search
Shefield worth wile too, buti have no contact

You just need to ask for the entertainments manager.

In some uni's the venue is controlled/ run by an independent promoter, you might need their details too.

Don't expect much money for the evening, but it will be good for networking.

On one occasion I booked the student venue on campus and put on an evening of bands.
