Open Event
Discover a new North Devon College
Open Event
Tuesday 1 December 2026, 5:00–7:30pm
North Devon College, Barnstaple
We’ve been busy at North Devon College, and there’s a lot to see. New name, new look, new facilities and new ways to study, all on your doorstep.
Thinking about what comes after Year 11? Come and see for yourself. Explore the campus, meet the lecturers who would teach you and get the answers about courses, applying, travel and support. Whether you’re looking at A Levels, T Levels, vocational courses or apprenticeships, or you’re an adult thinking about your next step, there’s something here for you. Parents and carers are very welcome.
Hear from us
Short talks of 20 to 30 minutes run throughout the evening, so you can plan your visit around the ones that matter to you.

See every subject area
Every curriculum area will be open on the evening. Walk round our workshops, studios and specialist facilities, and talk to the staff and students who use them every day. Our Inclusion, Work and Independence team will also be on hand to talk through supported learning routes.
Get your questions answered
Our information hubs bring the support teams together in one place. Visit the Advice and Guidance Hub for help choosing a course, travel and bursary information, learning support, English and maths, and safeguarding. The Extra Hub covers clubs, societies and our Careers Advisor. The Adult Learning Hub is there for anyone looking to gain new skills or qualifications.
Good to know
Drop in at any time between 5pm and 7:30pm. You don’t need to stay for the whole evening.
Parking is free but limited and the teas and coffee is on us. Our Welcome Team, dressed in green, will point you in the right direction.
Book your place
Registering helps us make sure the right staff are there to meet you. Two days before the event we’ll send you the full programme, including a campus map and room locations, so you can plan your evening.
