Furness at 50
In July 2019, Furness College turned 50 years old, and we held a celebratory weekend alongside our sister colleges, Fylde and County, who also share our anniversary. On Saturday 6th July there were tours of all three colleges, including accommodation, trips to the wind turbine and in the evening there was a pre-drinks reception with an address from our former Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mark E. Smith followed by a gala dinner in the Private Dining Rooms.
