The Easter bank holiday weekend will take place from Friday 3 to Monday 6 April. Campus buildings and services will be closed or have reduced opening times over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend from Friday 3 to Monday 6 April (inclusive). 

The Student Life Building will remain open 24/7 throughout the bank holiday weekend with security on site. 

The Library 

Whilst it is important to take a well-earned rest over the spring break, we know many of our students will be wanting to get some study time in ahead of April/May exams.   

Our Mount Pleasant and City Campus libraries daily opening times are available on the library webpages. 

The Libraries and services will be closed on Friday 3 April and on Monday 6 April, but will open as normal on Saturday 4 April and Sunday 5 April.  

Our academic success team still has drop-in sessions, appointments and self-study resources over the spring break, to help you prepare and study for your exams.

Happy Easter to all those celebrating 

We wish a happy and peaceful Easter to all those celebrating within our LJMU community and beyond. 

Easter is a Christian festival celebrating the resurrection of Jesus which falls during the university’s spring break also known as the Easter holidays. It follows Lent, a 40‑day period of reflection, self-discipline or giving something up. Key days include Good Friday (3 April) and Easter Sunday (5 April), and many people mark Easter with celebrations and traditions like gifting chocolate eggs and having family get togethers. 

Happy Easter to all those celebrating.
