Open Day & Country Fair

The Myerscough College Open Day and Country Fair is an action-packed fun filled day out for all the family. The annual event, held in partnership with the University of Central Lancashire will be on Sunday 7 June 2020. As one of the biggest days out in Lancashire’s outdoor events calendar, with over 10,000 visitors last year, you are sure to find plenty to see and do across the whole College site. 

Covid-19 Update: We are of course closely monitoring developments regarding the Coronavirus pandemic and will update everyone accordingly as soon as possible. Like everyone, we desperately hope the situation in the UK improves by June, and rest assured any decisions on the event will be made with public health as priority. To the many of you who have already purchased tickets, thank you. We will contact customers directly should there be the need to do so going forward.

There will be a wide array of demonstrations, shows and interactive activities from the College's many diverse land-based and sports subject areas as well as numerous exhibitors, food and drink producers, trade stalls and entertainment. With hundreds of activities on offer, there really is something for the whole family.
