Celebrate your summer freedom

Close the books and grab a plate.

After weeks of revision, deadlines, and exam pressure, there’s nothing quite like the moment it all finally ends. And what better way to mark it than with good food, fresh air, and a chance to properly relax?

Join us for our End of Exams BBQ; a laid-back celebration at Westwood Outdoor Space where you can unwind, catch up with friends, and enjoy the start of a well-earned break. Whether you’re here for the sausages, the vegan burgers, or just the great vibes, there’ll be plenty to go around.

Alongside the food, you can get stuck into some outdoor games, have a laugh, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. It’s a simple way to shift out of study mode and into something a bit more social, and have some fun before the packing starts!

Come along with friends or drop in on your own; it’s an open, welcoming space to take a breath, enjoy the atmosphere, and celebrate all you’ve achieved this year.

Keep in mind this BBQ will be first come first serve, so when they’re gone, they’re gone!

Westwood Outdoor Social space is located between Cotswold and Derhill blocks, with bench seating available. The area can be accessed from the main road via paths with step-free access.

ResLife Ambassadors will be there to welcome you - you’ll be able to recognise them in their light blue RLA hoodies and t-shirts with the ResLife logo on.

At this event, you’re invited to our outdoor BBQ, where RLAs and ResLife staff will be ready to welcome you. You’ll get to enjoy a choice of either sausage or vegan burger (all allergens will be labelled) and have the chance to play some relaxed outdoor games with fellow students.

The whole event is unstructured and flexible, come and go as needed or stay the whole time. If you need a quieter spot, just ask the team and they can help you find a nearby calm area to take a breather.

Seating is available with outdoor benches, plus we will have blankets for anyone who would like to eat picnic-style.
