The California Road venue was buzzing with people enjoying a wide range of activities, many of which were free.
Money was raised for Magpas air ambulance thanks to face painting, decorate a biscuit, guess the weight of the cake and a tombola stall.
The amount raised was enough to pay for two chest trauma pouches, which are used by Magpas medics, to perform open heart surgery at the side of the road.
A spokesman for the college said: "It was lovely to see so many people enjoying the day in such good weather and also to see people turn up to find out about the courses we offer here.
