At Hallam Union we think it is much safer for you to get a taxi home, even if you haven’t got enough money with you. Our partnership with City Taxis means you can always get home safely.

You can hand your shu card to a driver of a City Taxi as a deposit for your fare which you then pay for later when you collect your shu card from the reception desk at Hallam Union. All you need to do is phone the number below and quote “Hallam Safe Taxi Scheme” when you make your booking.

So now there is no need to risk your safety if you find yourself unable to pay for your taxi home.  The scheme covers journeys upto approximately 5.5 miles,  and a maximum fair of £10.

Make sure you keep this number saved in your phone just in case: 0114 2393939

The HoDs and TAs are all professionals who between them have a vast amount of experience in the Festival itself and many areas of the technical theatre industry who guide, train and mentor the crew in their work.

The backbone of the team will be the crew of 120 students who apply to join us and have paid to be a part of the festival.  For their money they get their ticket for the shows and workshops, lunch and dinner, a pair of t-shirts, a hard hat, gloves, and the best hands-on technical training going.  The requirements for being a part of a crew are simply to be a student, have an interest in technical theatre, and be willing to get stuck in.  No previous experience is necessary as all the support and training is given on the go.

To sign up for the NSDF12 – ISDF Technical Team, click here. Deadline this weekend.
