Schools and Academies
Not all young people want to – or are able to - continue their studies beyond compulsory schooling. To ensure that those students are given proper recognition for their efforts, many schools and academies hold graduation ceremonies to mark the end of compulsory exams.
With the prestige of that academic rite of passage behind them, young people can strike out into the world of work with a sense of achievement and true purpose.
Our Service
Ashington Ceremonial Gowns has a range of gowns and accessories that can be purchased for future ceremonies or hired to keep costs manageable. Our comprehensive collection means that we can provide garments to match your school colours if desired. We can even create a bespoke design to decorate the ceremonial hoods with your institute’s insignia.

We know that academic budgets are everything and we strive to meet the requirements of every school and academy we work with.

To ensure that everything runs smoothly, our staff can be on hand to arrange robes correctly and ensure that both formal and relaxed photographs perfectly capture the unforgettable day.
Apprenticeship Training Providers
Apprenticeship Ceremonies
More people are turning to, and appreciating the value of apprenticeships.
Completing an apprenticeship is an enormous achievement and its significance is often a key turning point in the life of an apprentice. An auspicious occasion like an Apprenticeship Graduation Ceremony is a wonderful opportunity for employers and providers to make important connections, as well as the chance to share the celebration with friends and family of the graduates.
Our Service
We are conscious that apprenticeship providers have diverse budgets. Different clients have different needs, and Ashington Ceremonial Gowns is equipped to meet them. We have a wide selection of gowns that we can courier directly to you as a lower-cost option, or alternatively provide a full robing service to assist with the smooth running of the big day.
Ashington Ceremonial Gowns can provide traditional bachelor’s gowns, mortarboards and graduation stoles featuring the apprenticeship logo for a memorable corporate impression.
On the Day
Our years of experience mean that we can offer tips and guidance as to the ceremony itself. Having a local celebrity can draw a crowd and will almost guarantee local – and perhaps even more widespread - media coverage. An apprenticeship ceremony is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your business in a positive, progressive light, and we can help you to maximise that exposure.
The power of social media is virtually infinite, and a combination of formal photography and a few well-chosen selfies can boost your media channels and create an upbeat and professional message.
Once the event is over, our staff will be on hand to gather the gowns and any accessories. Alternatively, you are welcome to make your own arrangements for disrobing at the end of a magnificent day.
Colleges and Universities
College Ceremonies
Graduation is a celebration of personal achievement; the success of the college and the community that it is part of. It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the hard work of the students and the support of family and friends around them.
It’s likely that the college will hold a formal ceremony with a programme of speeches from the faculty – even a local celebrity - and may involve performances from student musicians or the college band.
Academic Dress
To accompany the proceedings, Ashington Ceremonial Gowns can provide a full range of traditional gowns, mortarboards and graduation stoles for the occasion. Why not commission a bespoke hood to represent your institution? We will happily work with you to come up with a unique design to make the day even more memorable. We also have academic robes available for the Principal and faculty of the college to compliment the chosen theme and colours.
On the Day
Once the graduates have crossed the stage and received their awards, both formal and relaxed photographs will capture the momentous day forever. We know how important it is to you that everything runs smoothly. Our experienced staff can be on hand to co-ordinate robing the students and gathering the gowns and accessories after the ceremony, leaving the participants to simply enjoy a wonderful day!
