Over the last few years has become an impromptu outdoor ‘Art Gallery’ and more recently had been taken over by some advertising hoardings which we were very keen to move on.

We took out the old rotten sleepers and replaced them with some hardwood decking left over from another University project which cleaned up the exterior lines of the court instantly.

New playing instructions mounted on a railway sleeper completed the makeover
Boules are available from the Courtyard bar, why not give it a go?
