The Varsity Matches 2023

Saturday 25 March; Twickenham Stadium, Whitton Road, Twickenham, TW2 7RE

The 2023 Varsity Matches will take place on Saturday 25 March at Twickenham.

In conjunction with Downing College's new alumni arm of DCRUFC, The Long Club, we invite you to purchase your tickets for this event. Tickets cost just £40 per adult (£20 per under 18) for a premium match ticket with access to the Varsity Gathering and you are welcome to book for guests.

This package allows alumni to enjoy the best views of the Women’s and Men’s Varsity Matches from top-class seats in the West Stand (on the halfway line, in blocks L6/L7) in the company of other Downing alumni, as well as access to the Varsity Gathering in the Rose Suite in the South Stand. Please note that only drinks will be on sale in the Rose Suite, but food concessions are located just a short distance away.
