The college on Avonbank has invited experts from across the college who will share their expertise on subjects such as gardening, animal welfare and tree surgery.

One of the event's highlights will be Pershore Press, the college's independent juice and cider production facility, which will host live demonstrations showing how it mills and presses apples to make fresh juice.

There will also be opportunities to help use the hand-operated press to create fresh juice and taste the results.

A map has been produced to help visitors explore the college and the wide range of activities on offer.

Some of these activities include demonstrations on how to create the perfect hanging basket and tree climbing to feeding a variety of animals, including donkeys, pigs and goats.

The college has also curated a farmer's market, which will be held on the day, featuring food, crafts, and gifts from small businesses in the surrounding area.

The market will feature Lulu Lollipop Designs, Little Bakes of Moreton-in-Marsh, Brockleby's Pies, Stitchery Shed and Pud Puds, who will also be joined by Worcestershire Wildlife Trust.

Helen Kinghorn, Pershore College Director, said: "We recognise the huge part that the college plays in the community here in Pershore, Wychavon and Worcestershire more widely.

"We wanted to take this opportunity to invite the community into our college and see why Pershore College is so much more than just a college.

"Many people may not have ever had the chance to visit the college, and this is a great opportunity for them to gain an insight into what we do, but also it will be the perfect opportunity to welcome back some familiar faces and people who have studied with us over the years."
