Sports Fair

The annual Sports Fair returns during Freshers’ Week, giving new and returning Oxford Brookes students the chance to meet our Student Sports Clubs and learn everything about Brookes Sport and Brookes Active.

The 2025 event will take place in the JHB Forum on Thursday 18 September from 10.00am to 4.00 pm.

If you can’t make the Sports Fair, you can still find out more about the Sports Clubs by contacting them directly via the details on their specific club webpages.

Varsity

Every March, our student Sports Teams take on the University of Reading in an action-packed day of competition.
