Derwen College Open Days
We look forward to welcoming you to one of our upcoming Open Day events.
Our 2026 Open Day season has now come to an end, but bookings are already open for our next series of events, beginning in January 2027.
In the meantime, our Admissions Team will be attending transition events across the country until December. Come and see us to learn more about Derwen College, and discuss the next steps in your young person’s learning journey.

Other ways to visit Derwen College
Did you know that Derwen Marketplace is open seven days a week?
Derwen Marketplace provides a unique opportunity to see Derwen College in action. Our Marketplace is a vibrant environment where students undertake work placements in a range of customer-facing settings, helping them develop valuable vocational and employability skills through real-life experience.
Students gain hands-on experience across our commercial outlets, including the Orangery Restaurant, Walled Garden Café, Vintage Advantage charity shop, Hotel 751 and our Garden Centre & Gift Shop. These placements help build confidence, independence and workplace skills in a supportive, familiar environment.
If you would like to visit Derwen College informally before attending an open event, a trip to Derwen Marketplace at our Gobowen campus is a great way to experience the College and see first-hand the opportunities available to students.
Opening hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9am to 4pm
- Saturday: 9am to 4pm
- Sunday: 10am to 4pm
We look forward to seeing you there.
