If you’re planning on getting here by public transport, Stamford College is well connected by local bus routes, with regular services running between Stamford and the surrounding areas.
Parking on site is limited so we recommend using one of the convenient drop-off options available.
Public Services and Sport students are required to attend the event at Borderville Sports Centre.
Address: Borderville Sports Centre, Ryhall Road, Stamford, PE9 1US
Drift Road can become busy during events, so we offer a couple of convenient drop-off options.
Students who may feel more comfortable can be dropped off directly at the main college car park. Alternatively, for a quicker and smoother arrival, many students choose to be dropped off a short walk away and enjoy an easy walk onto campus.
Both options are well-supported, so you can choose what works best for you.
Sport and Public Services students should be dropped off at Borderville Sports Centre.
Please bring a water bottle, a pen and a notepad for note-taking. Feel free to bring snacks for your break.

The course really helped me shape the way I performed my music and gave me the platform to generate contacts in the industry. Both my lecturers installed the confidence in me to perform both in and out of College.
