If you are staying on campus or locally for the festive season, there's lots of support and activities on offer. This page also outlines facility opening times, 24/7 support services, and how to connect with others on campus for the break.

Let us know if you'll be staying in your campus accommodation over the winter break in Canterbury by 10 December. If you are staying at Pier Quays, Unite Students will be in touch with you. 

Don’t forget if you’re living in part-catered accommodation and want to stay on campus over the winter break you’ll need to book vacation accommodation at least one week before you’re due to move out. Please note all meal plans (including Flex Catering Packages) pause from Saturday 13 December 2025 to Saturday 10 January 2026. Vacation accommodation is available on a self-catered basis only and you will have access to a kitchen to cook your own meals.
