Eat & drink

The Gulbenkian Arts Centre Café, recently refurbished and re-opened in September 2025 offers hot food and grab and go options.

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.

The Cafe is run by Chartwells Catering and any questions about the Cafe can be sent to: kentunifood@compass-group.co.uk

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
