University of Manchester cafe BANS students from studying there over lunch and at weekends

University students have hit out after being BANNED from studying at a univerity-owned cafe during peak hours - including all day on weekends.

The Café at the Whitworth Art Gallery sits just moments away from the University of Manchester's main campus, and is used by many of the university’s students who are looking for a quieter place to study.
