Current opening times for our libraries are:
Harrison (City) Library and Walsall Library:
Students can still access a wide variety of resources and study support online from home through our library webpages: www.wlv.ac.uk/lib and get support from a Librarian through our 24/7 live chat service, ASSIST.
As is the tradition at Christmas time, the Arena Theatre has teamed up with TREAD Productions to spread a little joy with the online pantomime Cinderella, available on Friday 11, Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December.
Dark Tales in Winter is also making its long-awaited return to the theatre. Earning four-star reviews on its debut last season, Charles Dickens' The Signal-Man will be broadcast on Friday 18, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December at 7.30 pm. It will then be made available on-demand until Monday 4 January.
To activate Pay What You Can tickets, students will need to enter the discount code wlv on the event pages of either Cinderella or Dark Tales in Winter.
Join your Academic Coaches on the last Wednesday of each month. The next virtual events will be held on Wednesday, 16 December and there will be a special Christmas Coaches Kitchen on Monday, 21 December. You can follow Coaches Kitchen on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The Global Lounge is for all students looking for an opportunity to learn about and share different cultures. It is a friendly space for conversation around a 'theme'. People with interest in practising their English speaking and listening skills have the opportunity for everyday practice and mentorship to build language confidence.
You can make a difference and support local grassroots groups, who provide food and essentials to those who need them most, by donating to our Christmas Appeal today.
Every year, staff and students generously donate through the Chaplaincy's foodbank and carol service collections. As we are unable to hold these events this year, we are relying on the support of staff, students, and alumni to donate to the Christmas Appeal.
These funds will be used to support the charities, food banks, etc. who provide services for those in need in our local community.
