Rooms to close

Wedding receptions in the Divinity School are a great option on Saturdays and Sundays, when the Library is closed to readers and visitors from 5pm onwards. This gives you exclusive use of the Old Schools Quadrangle (the courtyard outside Divinity School) and the entrance to the Divinity School (the Proscholium) after 5pm. Divinity School, Convocation House and Chancellor's Court are interconnected.
