Keele Community Day 2013

Keele held its second Community Day on Sunday 2nd June 2013. Throwing open our doors we encouraged visitors to join us in the glorious sunshine for a fun-packed day for all the family.

Not only could visitors explore our beautiful, historic campus, the 2013 line-up also included historical and geographical tours, science experiments, diamond mines, muggle quidditch, virtual and visual observations of the Earth, Sun and Stars, art exhibitions, language, sport and science taster sessions, a penalty shoot-out with Stoke City FC,  bungee runs, outdoor Zumba, and much more.

Keele staff and students joined together to provide a programme packed with over 70 activities for visitors enjoy, and enjoy they did:

“A thoroughly enjoyable family day out. A variety of activities and something of interest for all age groups.”

“Four generations of our family came to the Community Day, and all enjoyed it greatly and would come again.”

“Everyone was friendly, the Keele Ambassadors were very helpful and the four kids I brought with me now think Keele is a cool place. That is a great result.”

“Our son loved the science experiments - crypotography, making slime etc. The inflatable bungee run was a hit too. I enjoyed the charity massage.”

“You gave the children a unique experience that they would not come across in every day life. We all particularly enjoyed the KAVE 3-D body. They even enjoyed a maths lecture (with juggling)! They also loved Quidditch and the climbing wall. Part of the fun was the variety of options, so there was something for everyone.”

“Seeing our toddlers face when she got to touch one of the birds of prey- magical!”
