Cheshire College is inviting prospective students to its first open event since merging with Macclesfield College.

As the largest provider of post-16 education in the region, the college supports students across a wide range of study routes, including A Levels, T Levels, apprenticeships, vocational programmes, adult learning and higher education.

Held across its Chester, Ellesmere Port and Crewe campuses, the newly merged College will host its October Open Evening on Tuesday 6 October from 5:30pm to 8:00pm.

Macclesfield Campus will host its event on Thursday 22 October from 5:30pm.

Students and their families will be able to explore their local campus, meet teaching teams, find out more about courses and discover the support available as they begin making decisions about their next steps.

Principal and CEO of Cheshire College – South & West and Macclesfield College, Jasbir Dhesi OBE, said: "Starting to think about what comes next after school is an important milestone, and we understand that choosing the right pathway can feel like a big decision.

"This year's Open Events are particularly significant as they are the first since the two Colleges merged.

"They give students and their families the chance to explore what is available across our organisation, while experiencing the individual campuses and communities that make our College what it is.

"Whether students already have a clear idea of their future plans or are still considering their options, our teams are on hand to answer questions, provide advice and help them find the right route for their next steps."

The merger, which officially took place in August 2026, brought both colleges together to create a single college serving communities across Cheshire.

Cheshire College – South & West and Macclesfield College now offers a wider range of education and training opportunities across its four campuses.
