We're delighted to announce that the Pump Room cafe, trialled on a number of Saturdays last winter, is set to open in the Rec Hall from 2pm to 4pm every Saturday, starting on Saturday 3rd October. It will be staffed by volunteers from FFES, supported by each of the Houses.

On certain Saturdays there will be live entertainment, but this won't happen every week. Games will be supplied, and refreshments. The Pump Room cafe provides residents and staff with the chance to enjoy a change of scenery and the opportunity to socialise with friends and colleagues
