Whether you’re looking to compete, get creative, explore a new interest, connect with others or simply try something different. Come along and meet our student committee members, find out more about the different Sports & Societies, ask questions and discover how you can get involved. You’ll have the chance to chat to students who are already part of our groups and find out what they have to offer.

You can also find out more about upcoming Give It A Go sessions, giving you the opportunity to try different activities before deciding whether you’d like to join.
