Our Courses in Farming, Horticulture and Environmental

The only land-based college in Leicestershire, Brooksby has a rich heritage as a leading provider of Farming, Horticulture and Environmental Management courses, having educated generations upon generations of Land-based professionals.

Spanning 850 acres, Brooksby College is home to a working livestock and arable farm, state-of-the-art glasshouses, several acres of formal gardens, and a range of sustainable land management areas.

Work started in April 2025 on our £18m development, which will include a brand new Agri-tech Centre. Due to open its doors in Summer 2026, the Agri-tech Centre will house state of the art technology and equipment including GIS software for field and yield mapping, virtual learning environments, purpose-built labs, drones, and robotics.
