Harrogate College celebrates student success at Further Education Awards

4 July 2017

Harrogate College celebrated the success and achievement of our students at the Further Education Awards ceremony in the newly refurbished facilities at Harrogate College, on Wednesday 28 June 2017.

Following a £6m redevelopment, Harrogate College has industry standard facilities that students have been working in all year, making the perfect venue for an evening of celebration.

Bistro on the Park, Harrogate College’s training restaurant, was packed with family, friends, tutors, and of course students, as well as support from special guests including local employers and societies.

Performing Arts students Izzy South, Tiggy Fagan and Courtney Harper performed an outstanding and exciting selection of hits from ‘Grease’.
