Marquees
The marquee at the Piazza on Campus East is available for you to study in, bring your lunch, or just to take a break in.
You can drop in during the day to both marquees between 12-6pm - staff will be on hand to ensure everyone can socially distance.
In the evening, you can book a space at The Piazza marquee between 6-10pm. You can book for up to six people - though note that the marquees are classed as indoor spaces so you should not meet up with people from outside your household there.
Both marquees are open every day.
