“It’s great to have Pickard Properties returning as headline sponsor for 2022. They have been incredibly supportive of the event to date and their sponsorship allows us to make the event bigger and better than ever.”
Speaking on behalf of Leeds University Union, Nicole Jimenez Mogrovejo, International and Postgraduate Officer said:
“We really appreciate the support of Pickard Properties and look forward to working with them again this year. After nearly three years away, we’re really looking forward to opening our doors again to this ‘must attend’ event in the Leeds student calendar. After such a long time, we’re really excited to bring everyone together and celebrate sport, friendship, and the positivity of Varsity.
“Whether you’re passionate about a sport, a team, your university or just being in Leeds, we’ll have a game for you. Varsity is a chance to come together outside the classroom and join in the wider student community with your friends. It really is for anyone and everyone, whether you’re sporty or not.”
