The University of Sheffield is located in the north of England and has an active quiz society as of 2023. Sheffield attends numerous tournaments per year, and has hosted the UK mirror of BHSU and 2022 ARCADIA, the latter in collaboration with Durham University.
Sheffield has been active in quizbowl since it was re-introduced to the UK in 2010 until 2015 (achieving a third-place finish at the 2012 BSQC), and then from 2020 until the present. The society became particularly active in the British quizbowl circuit under the leadership of Andrew Fisher, a maths PhD student at the university. Sheffield won their first tournament in the northern mirror of 2024 British Novice hosted at Manchester, beating Lancaster B in the final.
