Welcome to the Leeds University Union History Society!

We are the largest Arts society on campus and are the best place to get to know your fellow course-mates and people simply interested in history to make the most of your time at Leeds!

Socials and Events

We have an array of socials throughout the year, from our club nights, pub quizzes, Otley runs, academic talks to our famous Winter Ball and annual Trip Abroad. Our Winter Ball is the highlight of the HistSoc calendar and is a spectacular evening to get dressed up, dined and party with other members.

If you are wondering how to meet more people on your course or would like to spend your time around like-minded people, then the wide variety of socials we hold means there is something for everyone to get involved!

If you want to be updated on all the events and socials we hold, make sure to join our Whatsapp group for 2024/25: https://chat.whatsapp.com/IRIUr9uLSooJ9fCx9kvL7p

Sports

Alongside our socials we have the famous HistSoc Netball and Football team (a force to be reckoned with on the pitch). We play in the University league against other societies, and it is a great way to enjoy the sport with fellow history students.

Our membership for the year is £20 (which is an absolute steal for what you can do with it), which allows you access to socials and events that the society holds. As a member you get the following perks:
