Pickard backs student sport as headline sponsor of Leeds Varsity 2025
Yorkshire Evening Post
|April 29, 2025
Leeds property firm Pickard Properties has been confirmed as the headline sponsor for Leeds Varsity 2025, marking the fifth year the company has supported the city's biggest student sporting event.
The annual showdown, which sees students from Leeds Beckett University and the University of Leeds go headto-head across three actionpacked days, returns from Monday 28 to Wednesday 30 April.
This year's Varsity will feature 68 fixtures across 24 sports, including rugby league, netball, ice hockey, futsal and rowing.
The competition will conclude with its traditional finale at Headingley Stadium, where the universities' Rugby Union 1st teams will battle it out for the prestigious Varsity Trophy in front of a sell-out crowd.
Leeds Varsity has become one of the most anticipated events in the city's student calendar, combining friendly rivalry with elite-level sporting competition. The support of long-standing partners like Pickard Properties helps to keep the event thriving.
