BiCon is primarily a self-catering event and for those of you staying on site there’s always the option of cooking in your kitchen (reminder of what is in your flats is on our accommodation page), but if you want to go further afield there are plenty of options.
This Google map link will show you Tesco and the shopping centre.
On campus
Atmosphere Bar and Café – 1st Floor, University House
There is a brief Atmosphere webpage about facilities including charging facilities for gadgets.
There are drinks and food menus available but BiCon can't guarantee everything on those will be available as it is university vacation time and opening hours have been extended a bit for us.
The bar serves drinks and a limited range of bar snacks like pizza, nachos, crisps and sweets.
Bar Opening times
- Thursday 3pm-11pm.
- Friday 12.30pm-11pm.
- Saturday 12.30pm to 1am.
- Sunday CLOSED.
The café serves non-alcoholic drinks, snacks and meals.
Café Opening times
- Thursday until 5pm.
- Friday 11.30am to 5pm.
- Saturday 9am to 6pm.
- Sunday – CLOSED.
BiCon 2018 has had to agree a minimum spend to get the bar and café open, so if you can afford to eat and drink there please do – it will help keep our final bill down.
Own food
Please do not bring your own food into the Atmosphere Bar and Café. You can eat your own food in the Purple Zone downstairs in the same building (University House).
