Social life

With so much happening on campus and buzz of urban life in Gloucester and Cheltenham on your doorstep, life at Hartpury is never dull!

Our parties and highly anticipated Summer Ball are always highlights of the year. On Wednesdays, students support our teams as they compete in the BUCS league – including rugby, football, and netball – before heading to Legends to celebrate.

Students can also watch Championship-side Hartpury University RFC and Premier 15s Gloucester-Hartpury Women's RFC play at home, as well as equine events throughout the year.
