Support Over Easter Break


This year the University’s Easter break for many services is between 17:00 Friday 22 March 2024 and 09:00 Monday 8 April 2024.

During the Easter break, keep an eye on our social media accounts (@hulluniservices) for information about what’s on and how you can get involved.

The Allam Sport Centre is open over the Easter break with adjusted opening hours.  More information is on the Hull Sport website and their social media (@HullUniSport).

The Brynmor Jones Library is open, with some services and parts of the library operating adjusted opening times.  Please their library opening hours page for more information.

Hull University Students' Union (HUSU) also have adjusted opening times for those staying in Hull, so you know what you can access and when.

There are many local faith, religion, and spirituality venues offering a physical and emotional space to chat, connect, reflect, and discuss matters of faith and belief over the Easter break too, for those who wish to find places of worship and if appropriate pray.
