Student Shout Out Home

Seaborne Café 

Want the Café open in Seaborne Library at Exton Park? You’ve got it! 

We’re pleased to announce that from tomorrow, the Café will be open 10.30am-6pm, weekdays and will serve a variety of sandwiches, hot and cold drinks and home-made cakes – providing you with everything you need right there in the library during the busy exam/final assignment period. 

We made the decision to open the Cafe following lots of requests from students. This is a great example of how we listen and act on your suggestions – and how you can use your student voice to make real changes across the University. 

The Café will be open on a trial basis for the rest of this term. Following that, we’ll review footfall and sales before planning for the next academic year.
