Living in Gloucestershire

Whether you live on campus or not, you’ll be just a stone’s throw from everything Gloucestershire has to offer. From outdoor adventure to nightclubs, bars and cosy coffee shops, there is something for everyone. Sports Take your pick from Cheltenham Racecourse, home of the world-famous Cheltenham Festival, Kingsholm Stadium, the base of Gloucester Rugby, and Cheltenham Town FC. You could watch a different sport almost every weekend, if you like.

Food You’ll never go hungry on campus, but there are plenty of delicious options in Gloucester if you fancy going out to eat. You’ll find all your favourites at Gloucester Quays, from Five Guys to Wagamamas. If you fancy something different, there’s Greek on the Docks or an authentic Italian, Setebellos. Nightlife Enjoy rock music at The 2 Pigs, party anthems at Fever, pop at Moomoos or up and-coming bands at Café René and The Frog and Fiddle. You’ll find sports at Lounge 72 and delicious craft ales at TANK.

Adventure Explore ancient woodland and a dramatic river valley in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. Go mountain biking on steep forest tracks, scale rocks or descend into prehistoric caves. If you’re looking for a more relaxing day out, try canoeing down the Wye Valley.

Festivals From music, arts and science to sports, food and tall ships, there’s a festival to suit every interest. Some of our favourites include Frightmare Halloween festival and 2000Trees music festival, as well as Cheltenham’s annual Jazz, Literature, Science and Music festivals which draw stars from around the world.

We have regular buses on site to connect you with Gloucestershire and beyond. A public bus is available on weekdays and you can book a Hartpury shuttle bus via the Zeelo app Monday to Saturday. Please check the website for more details. www.hartpury.ac.uk/uni-transport

Living off campus When on campus, the surrounding views and greenery feels like you’re in the heart of the countryside, however Hartpury campus benefits from being only four miles away from Gloucester city, or a short 10-minute bus ride away. This makes off-site living a popular option, particularly for those that enjoy the city-living atmosphere and choose to live in Gloucester city. Wherever you decide is best for you, Hartpury student life is vibrant and friendly. You’ll benefit from being part of the community and enjoy a range of freshers’ activities and social events throughout the year, wherever you choose to live.

Getting around The cost of car parking on campus is included as part of your accommodation fees. There is also a bus service that runs to and from campus to the city of Gloucester. Please check out our transport web page for more details. If you need to get a taxi, local company Andycars offer a discounted rate for Hartpury students, currently around £15 from Hartpury to Gloucester (£3.75 each) or £18 for a multi seater to Gloucester
