We would like to give you advance notice that the Gulbenkian Arts Centre Café will be closed from Monday 25 August – Friday 29 August 2025 (inclusive) for a refurbishment of the café space.
The weekend of Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 August there will be a reduced offering, with the café opening fully on Monday 1 September with hot food and grab and go options.
Alongside the newly refurbished space, the café team are excited to introduce Social Impact Coffee, a specialty roastery with a big idea. Their ethos that every cup of coffee served shouldn’t just taste good but should do good, with 65% of their profits go into local community causes – which you choose.
For late September 2025 in time for Arrivals Weekend, the Gulbenkian Arts Centre Café will be launching a refreshed menu, offering a range of delicious eats developed using locally sourced ingredients.
Whether you’re popping by for breakfast and looking to enjoy our full English, a tasty Roman pizza or freshly made deli sandwich for lunch or back on campus to catch a show and feast over our posh dogs and loaded tater tots, they will have something for everyone.
Take a sneak peek of planned refurbishment works – and we look forward to you all visiting when it’s completed and re-opened on Monday 1 September.
