Important Information for visitors
Event opens: 4pm. Last entry: 8pm. Event closes: 9pm.
Due to the popularity of our events, to ensure that as many students as possible are able to join us, tickets are limited to a maximum of 4 per booking. You must book 1 ticket for each person attending the event, including parents/carers.
We will be taking photos for use in our marketing materials & social media. By booking a ticket you acknowledge that photos may be taken of you and consent to this. If you would not like to be photographed, you can collect a red lanyard from our Help Desk in the Quad. Alternatively, please alert our photographers when you see them or move out of shot.
It’s important to us that you feel prepared and informed right from the start of Year 11 to make the best decision on where to study next. This is why we hold our annual Open Evenings every summer, and do not host any open events in the autumn term.

Campus Tours
Campus Tours are held between October – December each year, during the college day. Due to the demands of the admissions process and events for our current students, we are unable to hold tours outside the Autumn term.
We strive to host as many Campus Tours as possible, but due to high demand, spaces become fully booked extremely quickly. We strongly encourage you to attend our summer Open Evenings to ensure you can visit the college before making an application for study. There are also opportunities to visit and find out about the college throughout the application process.
