Open Day Subject Sessions

Exton Park, Bache Hall

December 2025 and Gateway House

Welcome to Exton Park, Bache Hall and Gateway House

Exton Park is where our story began and is home to numerous courses covering a variety of subject areas, a range of subject-specific facilities, and learning and teaching spaces. Seaborne Library has an extensive selection of books, e-books and e-journals, as well as bookable multimedia rooms, video conferencing space, 24-hour access computer labs and a two-floor study zone.

Gateway House is located within the ‘cultural quarter’ of Chester, adjacent to Storyhouse theatre and Chester Picturehouse and just a stone’s throw away from Chester’s excellent Christmas market!
