Newbury College helped more people climb to success with a record number of people attending the recent open evening which showcased the variety of courses the College has to offer.

The open evening was more interactive than ever with curriculum areas demonstrating what their courses entailed by putting on fantastic displays and have a go activities including a climbing wall, manicures, hair demo, flower arranging, bricklaying and many more. Current students were on hand to talk to prospective students and their parents and show them around while talking about their College experience.

Newbury College Principal Dr Anne Murdoch said, "The evening was a great success. We are delighted with the number of visitors that came along to our open evening and pleased that so many people are interested in our courses".

The evening was a fantastic opportunity for the local community to view the College's state of the art facilities including the brand new training restaurant, and to see the many courses on offer. The College's business students helped to organise the activities and attended the event on the welcome desk, giving guided tours and chatting to prospective leaners.

For those in Year 11, the evening was a chance for them and their parents to discover the options available to them after GCSEs. Meanwhile, adult learners attending the event had an opportunity to find out more about Newbury College and explore ways in which to further their career or to develop a new hobby.
