Muslim student moving to Lincoln Uni? Here's the guide
Where to pray on campus and in the city, where to find halal food, and how to reach the Islamic Society, for students starting at the University of Lincoln. Each fact was read from the source named beside it on 10 September 2026. Term-time details change, so check before you rely on one.
Praying on campus
The University’s Multi-Faith Chaplaincy is in Witham House, building 10 on the Brayford campus, next to the Sports Centre. Its Muslim prayer rooms are WH0003 for brothers and WH0004 for sisters, with separate wudu facilities, and they are open 24 hours a day with your University ID card. They are multi-faith spaces, so other groups may use them with notice. You can also borrow a prayer mat from the reception desks of the main library and the Ross Lucas Medical Library.
Jummah is held on campus on Fridays at 1pm in term time, in the Minerva Building (building 1), with separate entrances for brothers and sisters. The chaplaincy’s pages give two different room numbers for it, so check the room with the Islamic Society or the chaplaincy before your first Friday. Outside term, pray in the Witham House rooms. Our prayer rooms guide has the rest of the campus detail.

The two mosques in the city
Lincoln has two mosques. The Friday times below come from each mosque’s own timetable, and each has its own page with its address and a link to its daily prayer times.
Lincoln Central Mosque & Cultural Centre
Dixon Street, Lincoln LN6 7DA
Friday prayer: 1.20pm, and a second jamaa'at at 2.15pm, from its listing on Mawaqit on 10 September 2026.
Faizan-e-Madina Lincoln Islamic Centre
2 Proctors Road, Lincoln LN2 4LA
Friday prayer: English speech 1pm, Arabic khutba 1.25pm, jamaa'at stands 1.30pm, from its own site on 10 September 2026.
For both mosques side by side, see mosques near the University of Lincoln.
The Islamic Society
The Students’ Union’s Islamic Society runs Friday prayers, spiritual reminders, Quran study circles, interfaith and cultural events and charity work, and is open to Muslims and to anyone interested in Islam. The chaplaincy’s page on the society also mentions weekly sport. You can reach it at islamic@lincolnsu.com or on Instagram at @isoclincoln. On 10 September 2026 the Students’ Union shop had no membership on sale for the society yet, so check its page again after Welcome Week.
Halal food
Our halal restaurants guide lists only what each venue states on a surface it controls, with the date, and our halal butchers and grocers guide covers where to buy meat and groceries. For ingredients from home, see Asian supermarkets and African restaurants and grocers.
On campus, the University’s catering pages say nothing about halal food at its outlets, so ask at the counter before you buy.
Ramadan
The chaplaincy publishes a Ramadan guide each February. The 2026 edition covered suhur and iftar, fasting while studying, and iftar events at the mosques, the University and the Students’ Union, and asked staff to avoid major deadlines on Eid al-Fitr. The Islamic Society has run free weekly iftars on campus before; its 2025 fundraiser aimed to feed more than 100 students a week.
Who to talk to
The Multi-Faith Chaplaincy offers pastoral care to students of any faith or none: email chaplaincy@lincoln.ac.uk or call 01522 886079. Its office is open 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and 8.30am to 4.30pm on Friday.
