Loughry Campus students were joined by friends and staff for the annual formal at the Leighinmohr House Hotel, Ballymena.
Valerie Finlay, acting head of learner services at CAFRE said: “Life is filled with unforgettable experiences, but one event that stands out in the college calendar is the student formal. It’s a chance for our students to swap their everyday clothing for elegant attire, to enjoy a sophisticated evening, creating memories with friends. The evening offered the students a perfect blend of glamour, fun, and celebration.”
Attendees enjoyed a lavish dinner, followed by music, dancing and photographic opportunities, even capturing some of the dance moves that had been practised back on campus!
