Prayer and Quiet Room

This space has been provided for Lincoln College students of all religious viewpoints. It can be used for private prayer of all faiths, and for peaceful contemplation, meditation, and healthy quiet time. Appropriate washing facilities are provided.

The room is located in the Mitre (just across the road from the main site) and is a silent, mixed-gender, and mixed-faith space for all students of the College. The room is fully accessible and all students can enter without booking using their university card or Salto fob. Please note that a maximum number of four students may use this space at the same time. By using the space you agree to comply with these regulations.

Chapel

We hold regular services during full term to which all members of the College, their guests and members of the public are welcome. The Chapel is a beautiful, peaceful space and is open to students, Fellows, and staff for quiet reflection and prayer – just ask the porters for a key.
