Hartley foyer events: Home

The Hartley Library foyer is bookable for promotions and events.  It is essential that you book ahead to ensure that there is space available.  

Please view our 'Guidelines for Displays, Promotions and Events in the Library' for information about our general criteria for selection.

To book a time for the foyer, please email libenqs@soton.ac.uk, explaining

• your event or promotion,
• the date and time you wish to hold it,
• whether you need a table and any chairs,
• whether you are bringing any equipment with you and
• how many people will be managing the promotion.  

Please be aware that library staff are not able to oversee any promotions on your behalf.  For example, If you are wanting to put up a banner and display promotion material such as leaflets but choose not to stay in the library with this material, library staff will not be able to supervise your display on your behalf.  We strongly recommend that if you wish to use the library foyer space for a promotion, your own staff stay with the promotion.  

When we receive your request, it will be assigned to the Events and Posters team, who will respond within 5 working days.  Once your booking is accepted, our Library Buildings Management team will put out a table and one or two chairs if these have been requested, and will also take these down at the end of your promotion.  However, you will be responsible for setting up the display and laying out any promotional materials and gathering these up again at the end of your promotion.
