Dating back to 1845, Cirencester’s Royal Agricultural University - still known to many locally as the Royal Agricultural College – is the oldest agricultural college in the English-speaking world and, as you might expect, has an interesting and varied history.

And now we are officially opening the doors of our main Cirencester campus to visitors on Saturday 9 September as part of a free Heritage Open Days event taking place across England.

The recent spell of wet weather is the topic of conversation in shops, pubs, and hairdressing salons across the land and none of us is a fan but the amount of rain the UK has seen, since the start of July, is now starting to cause big problems for UK farmers.

As well as trying to find enough dry weather to harvest fields of wheat, barley, and other crops which are ready to be combined, many farmers have not even been able to make hay yet this year.
