Families revelled in the rain at Hopwood Hall College’s annual Summer Fun Day as hundreds passed through the Middleton gates.

With the college’s vast array of exotic animals open to the public, outdoor BBQs and even a dog show being held, people from all over Greater Manchester deemed it tempting enough an offer to venture into the grey outdoors.

The family based festival also featured pop-culture performances by Performing Arts students, a children’s sensory play barn, nail treatments performed by Health & Beauty students, Horticulture how-tos and plant sales plus a cross bar challenge competition held by Rochdale Hornets.

Hopwood Hall College Assistant Principal, Julia Heap, declared her pride in seeing the college’s third consecutive event go off without a hitch, she said: “We’ve had some really great feedback from many of the people who visited our third annual Summer Fun Day, I’m really proud of all our staff and students who were involved; they did a fabulous job.

“It’s fantastic for us to be able to open up our Middleton campus to the public and show off all our hard work and top facilities.

"I enjoy that people always leave pleasantly surprised at something they saw here, whether that be a family of Meerkats or a Technology Centre that would embarrass many professional trades’ facilities.

“I hope we get see everybody who came and more at next year’s festival. Fingers crossed we get some real summer weather next year too.”
