Sustainability

Taliesin Arts Centre actively contributes to Swansea University’s challenging pursuit of sustainable development.

We encourage and support visiting companies to ‘go green’ during your time with us and work together to minimise the environmental impact of our activities and events.

We can provide up-to-date information and guidance on sustainable travel and catering, waste disposal and recycling.

Food and drink

The university has various outlets selling food and drink during the day and hosts a food ordering app called Uni Food Hub which will give you up-to-date opening times, menu choices and the option to order from the app and then go to the outlet to collect.

In Fulton House there is a Greggs, Tortilla which is a burrito and taco outlet, Root which is a veggie/vegan outlet and a Costcutter/Co-op minimarket which sells a range of sandwiches, snacks and microwavable ready meals, as well as household supplies, tobacco etc.

There are also a number of Costa and Starbucks concessions open during the day and a member of staff will be happy to direct you to them as needed.

The closing times for these facilities vary but many close between 4pm and 8pm so the options for getting food move off campus.

There are several eateries, supermarkets and takeaways in the surrounding areas of Sketty, Brynmill, Uplands. Mumbles, the Marina and the town centre, most of which are with a 15-minute drive (traffic permitting).

If you need any further information during your visit, please speak to the FoH duty supervisor who can assist.

Where possible it is best if this is done as far in advance as possible so that you don’t find yourselves hungry just before the performance.

On the outskirts of the campus there are two places withing easy walking distance:

The Pub on the Pond (11:30am - Midnight) – (SA2 8PY, 01792 298023)

The Brynmill Coffee House (8:30-4.00) Langland Terrace, Swansea, SA2 0BB
