It doesn’t matter if you’re looking to continue a much-loved hobby or itching to try something new, there’s something for everyone. From parkour and pom cheerleading to wellbeing and women’s cricket, Sheffield Students Union promotes a ‘give it a go’ approach and encourages students to try their hands at anything they like with dedicated taster sessions during Sheffield University Freshers Week. Of course, if there isn’t a society that interests you, you’re welcome to start your own.
