Check out what else you can access for FREE as a University of Chester student! 

Active Campus sessions 

If you’re not interested in joining a sports team but still want to engage in some team and individual activities, then our Active Campus Programme is just the thing for you.  

With regular, free, non-competitive activities on offer, our programme gives you and your friends the opportunity to join in and have fun without the commitment needed to join a sports team. 

Please note; we also run a weekly 7 a-side Football league within the University community during term time which does come with membership fees.
