Information will be available on the range of courses on offer at the campus, but the day won't just be about the academic side of the equation.
Another aim will be to provide prospective students with a feel of what university life is all about, along with those details about the academic pathways to university courses as well as available scholarships.
Head of campus Guinever Threlkeld said an array of academics would be on hand to provide even greater insight into courses.
Dr Threlkeld said live entertainment, food trucks and activities for the kids meant the open day would be an "occasion for the whole community" and that all were welcome to attend.
"There will be lots of entertainment, food, music and things for children, it's an occasion for the whole community to come along, feel welcome and get to understand what university is about," she said.
