Thursday market

Every Thursday, during term time, the Students’ Union (Rubix) is transformed into a foodie’s paradise, with everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to bread, cakes, and hot food to take away. With options costing from a couple of pence to £10, there is something for everyone!

Opening hours

  • Produce: 8am – 4pm, although it often runs until 6pm.
  • Hot food stalls: 11am – 4pm, although it often runs until 6pm.
