Hartpury University Undergraduate Prospectus 2020

Party after dark Doing something different after dark is an exciting part of university life. Gloucester city and Cheltenham town are both nearby and are where our students often head to when night falls. From cheesy pop clubs and cocktail bars, to unpretentious indie gigs and cosy caverns, there’s something to suit all tastes. If a bite to eat is on the agenda, you’ll find tasty world cuisines, fine dining and everything in between at Gloucester Quays, the newly developed docklands.

Gloucester is recognised for its first-rate night life. It's one of only 70 UK towns and cities to hold the ATCM Purple Flag
