As with any reputable venue, all our venues operate a no ID no Entry policy. If you're lucky enough to look under 21 you are likely to be asked for I. D. to prove you are 18 so please don't be offended if you are asked for it. We appreciate that there will always be the odd occasion where someone is refused entry because they have no suitable ID with them, this is unfortunate, however, we're sure that the majority of those who enjoy our events (and bring ID) would rather have the event continue than for us to risk a prosecution for knowingly allowing anyone under age in simply because they "forgot" their ID.

We pride ourselves at Uprising for our staff and management having a good relationship with all our supporters. However, although we want you all to come in and have a good time at Uprising, we are not able to vouch for anybody who is asked for ID and doesn't have any, even if we know you and you've been coming to Uprising for years so please make sure you have suitable I. D. This isn't personal, at the end of the day it's the venue owners names above the door and it's their license on the line if we have a problem with under age attendees. We respect their right to refuse entry and as such we expect you to respect that right also and to recognise it is something we cannot interfere with.

Many people are now using their passports for ID. Using passports for ID is fine, however we have also seen an increase in the number of people who have tried to use someone else's passport. In the past they may simply have been refused entry to the venue. This is no longer the case, in future, anyone found trying to use a someone else's passport will not only be refused entry but will have the passport confiscated. Anyone who is thinking of using someone else's passport should think carefully about doing so, several people have been arrested in the UK under the Identity Card Act 2006 for using a passport that wasn't their own. Please don't use other peoples passports, you not only risk having it confiscated and having to pay for them to get a new one but possible arrest and a criminal record.

Passports are not the only option for I. D. provisional or full UK driving licenses or nationally recognised proof of age cards are just as good. In fact, even if you don't intend to ever drive, it's worth paying the small cost to get a provisional license than to risk losing your passport during the night.

If you have any questions about ID and conditions of entry please feel free to contact us, details are on the contact us page.
