Student life

In between lectures, you'll find our students grabbing a coffee or bite to eat in our brand new catering and social space, Graze, as well as relaxing in our campus bar, Legends, which offers pub quizzes, movie nights and live music and sport throughout the year.

Students' Union

Our Students’ Union hosts a wide range of clubs and societies, recreational sport, activities and entertainment all year round.

They’ll also make sure your voice is heard, as they represent you on the things that matter to you most.

You’ll automatically become a member when you enrol. Join nearly 4,000 other Hartpury students who enjoy exciting sports clubs, societies and social events.

Accommodation

If you want the luxury of living on site, surrounded by countryside and being able to roll out of bed and into your lectures, our Hartpury campus halls are the right choice for you. If city life is more your thing, you may be more suited to our Hartpury Gloucester accommodation (Blackfriars), or a private house-share, in the heart of Gloucester, which is just a 15 minute bus or car journey away.
