A calm cup after a busy day

Take a seat, take a sip.

As the days get cooler and lectures get busier, we’re inviting you to slow down with a free cup of tea ready for when you finish for the day. Drop into our cosy autumn unwind space in Aquila Court Social Space, settle into a comfortable seat and take ten minutes just for yourself.

You’ll find a wide range of teas to choose from — from classic brews to soothing herbal blends — along with a relaxed atmosphere designed to help you decompress after a long day on campus. Our “take one, leave one” bookshelves are open if you’d like something gentle to read, and our Student Ambassadors will be around for a friendly chat if you want company. You’re equally welcome to sit quietly on your own, read, or simply enjoy the calm.

An easy, pressure-free way to reset your mind, warm up, and step out of the rush in your accommodation. Come as you are, stay as long as you like, and get cosy this autumn.

This event will be held in Aquila Court social space, through the main entrance and next to the reception. There is an accessible toilet on the same floor and range of seating available, including both seats and sofas.

ResLife Ambassadors will be there to welcome you. You’ll be able to recognise them in their light blue RLA hoodies

When you arrive, you’ll enter a quiet, relaxed space set up with comfortable seating and a table of different teas to choose from. You can make your drink at your own pace, or ask an Ambassador for help if you’d prefer. The atmosphere is soft and low-key, with no loud music or pressure to socialise.

You can sit wherever feels most comfortable — on your own, with a friend, or near an Ambassador if you’d like someone to chat to. You’re welcome to stay for just a few minutes or longer if the space feels good to you. There’s no expectation to talk; you can simply enjoy your tea, read, rest or decompress after your day.

A small “take one, leave one” book collection will be available if you want something gentle to browse.

The aim is to give you a warm, quiet pause in your day where you can unwind fully and step away from the noise and demands of lectures. Come as you are, use the space however you need, and leave whenever you’re ready.
