Facilities Hire
We have invested heavily in our facilities in order to provide an excellent learning environment for our students. Most recently we have invested £5.5 million in a new theatre, two drama studios and new classrooms as well a new catering facilities and a Sports Hall.
The primary purpose of our campus is for the education of students attending the college. We do recognise, however, the benefit these facilities can bring to local community groups or larger organisations.
We have the flexibility to offer various combinations of rooms and depending on the combination and length of hire we may be able to offer discounted prices. We are also able to offer catering with most of our events, for full details and prices you will need to contact our lettings manager at events@blackpoolsixth.ac.uk.
UPDATE: Please note that due to the Coronavirus situation, college lettings are limited to weekdays up to 8 pm only. This will be reviewed in February 2022. Many thanks for your understanding about this.
