BUCS Big Wednesday will return to the University of Nottingham on Wednesday 27 March 2019. Not only does this mark the centenary of the event, but it’s the first time a university will host the event two years in a row.
BUCS is the largest multi-sport organisation in Europe, and BUCS Big Wednesday is the pinnacle of the team sport season. To celebrate, University of Nottingham Sport and BUCS will be pulling out all the stops.
Last year saw 104 teams, 55 universities and 14 sports descend upon the University of Nottingham for the event.
Emma Hodges, UoN Sports Officer, said: “I’m so thrilled that we will be hosting BUCS Big Wednesday again this year, particularly as BUCS celebrates its centenary. BUCS Big Wednesday offers an opportunity for the university to showcase its outstanding facilities but more importantly for our students to experience the pinnacle of university sport.”
The announcement comes just after the University was awarded Sports University of the Year by the Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019.
BUCS CEO, Vince Mayne, concludes: “With the University of Nottingham being awarded Sport University of the Year by the Times, I cannot see a better place to host BUCS Big Wednesday 2019.”
