Banbury and Bicester College will host a public open event on Wednesday 4 February 2026 to showcase a multi‑million‑pound programme of campus improvements in Banbury, Oxfordshire. The event runs from 4:30pm to 7:00pm and will give local families and prospective students the chance to tour the refurbished facilities on the Broughton Road campus.
Visitors can tour the Broughton Road site to see new creative arts and media centres, and a revamped learning resource/digital library refurbished at a cost of £65,000. The college has also launched an Early Years Centre of Excellence and upgraded its motor vehicle and engineering workshops to better reflect industry practice.
These updates form part of a wider £12 million investment by parent group Activate Learning to ensure students have access to equipment and learning environments that mirror real workplaces. Teachers and support staff will be on hand during the evening to answer questions about technical qualifications, T‑Levels and apprenticeships for courses starting in September 2026.
The college asks anyone interested in attending to register in advance via the Activate Learning website. The open event is the college’s primary recruitment showcase for school leavers and adult learners interested in applying for upcoming courses.
