About Us
Weston College invites the local community to come together for the Summer Spectacular 2025, this Saturday (7th June from 10 am to 6 pm), a vibrant and family-friendly event packed with live performances, interactive experiences, and a celebration of student success.
Taking place across the Italian Gardens and the newly reopened Winter Gardens, this free event on Saturday promises something for everyone—from dazzling musical showcases to alpacas, virtual reality, and more.
Visitors will enjoy a day full of performances, including:
- Live music and vocals on the Italian Gardens stage.
- A performance by the Mental Health Choir and a dance piece by English Speaker Other Language (ESOL) learners in the Winter Gardens Ballroom (11:30 am).
- A high-energy Performing Arts Showcase from 1:00 pm–3:00 pm, featuring highlights from Les Misérables, Sister Act, Rocky Horror, Fame, and Back to the Future.
But the Summer Spectacular is much more than a show—it's an open invitation for the community to get involved and try something new.
Activities include:
- Meet the alpacas from Weston College's Animal Management Centre at Puxton Park.
- Make a bee flower bomb and support local conservation.
- Create your nature-inspired sun catcher with the Education and Early Years team.
- Explore virtual reality and learn how to build your own PC.
- Enjoy a pamper session with hair tinsels and hand massages from the Hair & Beauty learners.
- Discover the future of automotive engineering, including hydrogen-powered vehicles and onboard diagnostics.
- Join the ESOL team for a cultural experience—try traditional dance, and learn greetings from around the world.
- In addition, the University Centre Weston Open Day will be running alongside the event inside the Winter Gardens. It's a perfect chance to explore degrees and degree apprenticeships available locally, ideal for college and sixth form leavers, adult learners, or anyone considering their next step.
This year's Spectacular also marks the grand reopening of the iconic Winter Gardens Ballroom, a beloved Weston landmark once again filled with life, learning, and celebration.
The event will be opened on the Italian Gardens stage by the Mayor of Weston-super-Mare, who will help kick off a day of festivities, thanking students, staff, and the wider community for their energy, creativity, and contributions.
Weston College Summer Spectacular 2025 is open to all, free to attend, and a fantastic way to celebrate the town's young talent, explore new opportunities, and enjoy a brilliant day out.
