This Varsity watch party is perfect for students who are curious about Varsity, as well as those who already know about it, to come together and watch the event through a live stream in a space away from the hustle and bustle of the Sports Centre.
Whether you know everything about sport or nothing at all, this event is all about enjoying Varsity in a more relaxed setting, without the busy and crowded environment of the Sports Centre.
A message from your Vice President (Welfare)
I understand that crowded and unpredictable environments are not suitable for everyone. As someone with a hidden disability, I also know that while some events can feel overwhelming, there is still a strong desire to be involved and to experience them. I have organised this event to ensure that no matter who you are or what your needs may be, if you want to engage with Varsity, you have the choice to do so in a way that best suits you. If you would like to, please register for a free ticket and come along to One Friar Gate Square for chilled vibes, quiet socialising, and free food, as we tune into the Varsity live stream and show our sports communities our support, no matter where we are.
What is Varsity anyway?
Varsity is an annual sporting competition that takes place nationally across the UK. All the partaking Universities have a competitor (ours is HertsSquad at University of Hertfordshire) and they take it in turns to host the event, and lots of different sports teams compete to decide which University keeps the Varsity trophy (we have won for the last two years!). This year, it's our turn to host which means the Sports Centre at Kedleston Road will be taken over by hundreds of sporty students (and spectators) who want to celebrate all things sport and support our athletes. Head to the Varsity page to check out the main event as well as fixtures and live scores on the day.
