Old Library
The Old Library’s primary purpose is as an open social and learning space that is accessible to students throughout the day. Due to this, only specific events will be permitted to take place in the space. We will check availability based on each request and whether the activity is suited to the space.

Qmotion Studios
Qmotion studios are not usually bookable by Societies, Student Media or Volunteering Groups. If you require space for a physical activity, please let us know and we can support you with finding an alternative space.
Any other spaces?
Other spaces managed by the University (commercial spaces such as the Octagon), or clinical spaces need to be book via the relevant University staff directly. Please speak to us if you require any of these spaces so we can support. Please leave plenty of time for this as these spaces take longer to request.
