Monday 30 January – Sunday 5 February

After the incredible launch in January 2022, the Fresh Start Festival is set to return – a week of fun activities delivered collaboratively between the University and LUU. The Fresh Start Festival aims to bring the whole University community together, giving you the chance to make connections with your peers, as well as staff members, by providing you with the opportunity to get to know people who share common interests. There will also be opportunities to find out about the support that is available to you during your time at Leeds.

Here at Sport and Physical Activity, we have a fantastic timetable of activity for you to get involved in – from outdoor walks and indoor exercise classes to abseiling and a colour run on campus – there’s a huge range on offer so come and join us and have some fun!
