PROSPECTIVE stud-ents can take a look around the new £12million facilities at Accrington and Rossendale college at an open day on Saturday.

The event will allow the public to look around the campus and catch a glimpse of the Coppice Centre.

This will house the new hair and beauty salon, TV studios, recording studios and theatre.

A free mini-bus will be available through-out the day to shuttle people between the Broad Oak campus in Accrington and the town hall.

The event will run from 10am to 3pm. There will be a free barbecue and live music.

There will also be various workshops taking place, including carpentry and joinery, plastering, brick-work and plumbing.

Director of information and publicity, Neville Rickard said: "This is the first chance local residents will have to take a good look around their new college.

"We've invested £12 million in the new campus and we'd like to celebrate with as many people as possible.

"Everyone is invited to come up, have a burger, listen to some good music, join in a few events and look around their new college."
