Refurbished WCs

Our ground floor WCs have now reopened after refurbishment, with a complete refresh of the ladies’ and gents’ facilities and the installation of a brand new wheelchair-accessible lavatory.

This is the final set of WCs to be refurbished, following the completion of the lavatories on the fourth and fifth floors.

Special offer at Kents Cavern

Visit Kents Cavern’s website at www.kents-cavern.co.uk to get a voucher worth 25% off admission to the caves!

This offer coincides with excitement over a new archaeological dig at Kents Cavern. “Kents Cavern already has a reputation as one of the most important archaeological sites in Europe,” said Nick Powe, Kents Cavern’s proprietor, “and we’re hoping that this dig will unearth more secrets about the enigmatic and elusive Neanderthals who called Kents Cavern home 40,000 years ago. Torquay is indeed privileged to be home to the oldest Scheduled Ancient Monument in Britain, with evidence of human occupation dating back half a million years.”

Red Nose Day 2009

We are delighted to announce that LAL Torbay staff and students raised £230 for Comic Relief, Registered Charity No. 326568, on Red Nose Day 2009.
Staff and students wore fancy dress, red noses and took part in fun competitions and games, as well as buying cakes and biscuits with all proceeds going to charity.

Comic Relief offers support to poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged people to turn their lives around across Africa, throughout the world’s poorest countries and in the UK.

We would like to thank everyone who took part and made Red Nose Day fun and successful.

Photographs of the event are in this gallery, and are also available in the Facebook group “LAL Torbay Red Nose Day 2009”. If you have photos of Red Nose Day, we would love to see them!
