Northampton Sports Facilities
If you’re into sports and fitness, we have you covered.
Not only do we have free sports and societies on campus for you to take advantage of on campus, we are also home to some pretty big names. Do the Northampton Saints sound familiar? Franklin’s Gardens is home to our famous rugby team, who compete at the very top level. Or you can head to the stadium at Sixfields to take in a Northampton Town FC match and cheer on your new local team.
If watching sports isn’t your thing, we have a local partnership with Trilogy Leisure, only a five-minute walk from campus. With a generous student discount scheme and a range of fitness facilities and locations on offer in Northampton, you’ll be able to get your gym or swim fix. To find out more visit the Trilogy Leisure website. And if you’re more of an outdoorsy type, then you’ll love exploring all of our beautiful parks and countryside.
