Take a break

Our award-winning BREAM library was built with your needs in mind – just like the campus, it’s a peaceful space that helps you focus. But everyone needs a break from time to time. You can relax in our library social space or, alternatively, at Brackenhurst you only need to step outside.

With a 200 hectare estate to explore, walled gardens, and a community of over 600 animals, it’s a one-off learning experience. Visit the Orangery for a hot drink, or the Brack Bar if you really need to relax!
