Telford College is inviting prospective students and their families to its Haybridge campus in Wellington, Telford, Shropshire, for an open event on April 29, 2026. The evening is designed for school leavers and adult learners to explore their study options and career paths before the new academic year begins.
Visitors can tour the campus during the event (5:00 pm 7:30 pm); the college asks guests to arrive any time between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Attendees will be able to meet tutors and see live demonstrations of courses. The event includes hands-on experience zones where people can try equipment in the college’s virtual and augmented reality suite, the creative media hubs, and the college’s £3.5 million automotive centre.
Ofsted recently rated Telford College “Good” (full inspection outcome published following the December 2024 inspection). Separately, the college is preparing to open a new high-tech sixth-form centre at the town’s Station Quarter in partnership with Telford & Wrekin Council; work on that project was announced by the council in February 2025 and the centre is scheduled to open in 2026.
Principal & CEO Lawrence Wood says the event is a chance to show students the practical skills that local businesses are looking for in fields like engineering and construction. Those interested in attending can book a place via the college website or arrive on the night (the college recommends arriving between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm).
