Open days information

The RNCM's Open Days are an opportunity for you, your parents and your teachers to visit the RNCM informally for a tour of the facilities, to meet members of teaching staff and students, and to see work in progress. There is also an opportunity to discuss matters of student support with relevant members of staff.

During the academic year the College hosts two Open Days. The first is in late September/early October and the second is in late April/early May. Admission is free but by reservation only. Early booking is advised and our online booking service opens two months prior to each Open Day.

The next Open Day is on Wednesday 12 May 2010. Book your place .
