Welcome to Butler Court

Located in East Park, near the School of Design and Creative Arts and our rugby pitches. Butler Court is a very tight knit community where morale is high and there is a great social life. Everyone knows everyone! Butler Courts hosts so many events planned by the Social, Welfare, Rag representatives and more. The hall is named after Sir Clifford Butler, Vice-Chancellor of the University from 1975-1985.

Upcoming Plans

The student committee which organises events for the hall has put together a plan of suggested activities to help build hall community during the Welcome period. The below activities are not mandatory (unless specifically mentioned), and students are free to make their own choices about which activities they may choose to attend.
