Ramadan arrangements

The University provides facilities and arrangements for you to observe Ramadan while on campus. In 2019 it’s between 6 May and 4 June depending on the calendar.

The Islamic Society is hosting a free Iftar meal every Thursday after Sunset Prayer in the Green Room. 

There are Islamic prayer areas currently available on campus. 

The Green Room is next to the Conference Auditorium and the Edge Sports centre, and has two floors providing the same facilities, one for brothers and one for sisters. It provides a prayer room and wudhu facilities as well as a common room and kitchen on both floors.

Cemetery Lodge is at the entrance of St George’s Field and can hold 40-50 men and 20-30 women.

Both of the Green Room and Cemetery Lodge will be available 24 hours a day during Ramadan. 

You can find out much more about these spaces and others on campus on the LUU Islamic Society website.

You can also find prayer times.

Access to the Green Room and Cemetery Lodge is controlled by key codes and these can be obtained from info@leedsisoc.com or the Equality Policy Unit on equality@leeds.ac.uk.
