Crewe's Cheshire College – South & West has celebrated a hugely successful start to the academic year, welcoming a record-breaking number of attendees to its first Open Evening on Tuesday 7 October.

The event took place simultaneously across the college's Crewe, Ellesmere Port, and Chester campuses, marking the highest ever number of visitors.

With over a 30 per cent increase in attendance compared to 2024's first Open Evening, thousands of prospective students, parents, and members of the local community experienced what makes Cheshire College one of the region's leading further education providers. 

"We were absolutely thrilled to see such a strong turnout across all three campuses," said Principal and CEO, Jasbir Dhesi OBE.
