October Open Day: the social media roundup

It was a bright fine autumn day on Saturday - and we were delighted to welcome hundreds of prospective students to our campus.

Our October Open Day gave attendees the chance to listen to course talks and take part in activities, to ask questions of Harper Adams lecturers, support staff and more, and to see our award-winning facilities up close.

From our Future Farm to our Companion Animal House, visitors were given the chance to get a first-hand experience of what they could expect studying at Harper Adams - and how our facilities, employeesm teachin and more really do help to make the difference.

Catch up with the day through our social media roundup below.
