To kick things off, we are hosting a fantastic evening of music, showcasing our talented pupils.

We ramp up the festivities on Saturday with fantastic rides to entertain both young and the young at heart! Get an amazing view of the campus from the heights of the ferris wheel and helter-skelter, enjoy the Dodgem cars and giant garden games plus tractor rides with our Farm Manager across the fields and campus taking in wonderful LWC landmarks.
Throughout the day there will be more incredible music from pupils and Sternians, along with dance performances, drama solos and spoken word from our talented Performing Artists. Tour our inspiring Art exhibitions and marvel at creations from both pupils and staff, take part in tug of war and enjoy the Motor Show (both vintage and new). We will also have sheep shearing demos and Miller's Ark Mini Farm here. There will be something for everyone!
