HIVE Radio

Hive Radio is a society for music nerds, niche music fans and everyone in between - where you can express and explore your interest in music. With membership (and training), you’ll be able to claim a time slot for a show at our studio in the Union, and broadcast your own show to our listeners 😸. Membership is £12 for the year, which helps us cover hosting costs and other fees - and it's required before training.

If you're at all interested, join our Discord! It's a friendly social space for anyone interested in music to interact and make new connections - and it's where we post updates on new shows, announcements, timetable updates, gig meetups and other news relating to the society - such as info about when training is happening, etcetera. We also post updates on our Instagram, though less frequently!

Frequently asked questions

Some societies are free to join, whilst others may have a small fee of around £5 to £10 for the whole year.

Your joining fees are then used to cover the running of the society (sometimes there’ll be extra costs if the society offers classes, special events or trips). 

Any questions? Drop the society a message or speak to us.

Current Manchester Met students are welcome to join our societies all year round.

Freshers Fair is a particularly great opportunity for you to meet and join our societies in person. 

For existing societies, committee members are chosen by members of the society through an online election. Elections take place in March ready for the upcoming academic year, and the role of committee member runs from July to June. 

For new societies, the founding members choose their committee to get started.

Fill out this booking form, giving at least one week’s notice to ensure the room is secured. You can request any bookable space in The Union or the University, but first make sure to check the building’s opening hours.

You should definitely wait for confirmation of your booking before spreading the word to your society members.
