Students from all disciplines including Equine Studies, Animal Care, Horticulture, Countryside, Agriculture and Outdoor Leisure joined up with staff, children from the on-site nursery, Saplings, and pupils from Barley Lane School to form the conga which made the shape a giant welly.
Agriculture Lecturer Sam Walker said: "We are astonished by the level of animation this has produced in our students, many of our courses involve welly wearing, so Bicton College was the ideal place to hold a world record attempt."
Students also organised a “welly wagon” (tractor and trailer) toured Budleigh Salterton collecting for RABI, and the Welly Olympics featuring welly wanging, a wet welly slide, welly sheep racing and tractor pull (wearing wellies). In the evening, there was a Welly Disco.
Those taking part hope the conga will soon appear in The Guinness Book of World Records.
