Leckhampton

Leckhampton is a beautiful campus for Corpus’s graduate students and for College sporting life. It is essentially a large country house approximately a 5 minute cycle away from College, providing superb sports facilities including tennis courts, rugby and football pitches, and best of all, a gym. Even if you aren’t sporty, the grounds are beautiful to explore if the same library desk is making you tedious.

In addition to these excellent facilities used by all members of Corpus, the central building in the Leckhampton campus is Leckhampton House, a Victorian residential building used for postgraduate accommodation. Most graduate students live in either the George Thomson Building (GTB), a large block next door, or in various houses on the neighbouring streets, Cranmer Road and Selwyn Gardens. There are also two houses for postgraduates on Barton Road.

Freshers' Week

On the first Saturday of Freshers Week a Sports BBQ is held throughout the day at Leckhampton. There will be trial sessions held by all sports so that, whether you’re a fresher or in your final year, you can have a go at trying out any sport you like. This is always an enjoyable afternoon with lots of tasty food and helpful sporting insights!
