Young People

Welcoming young people with special events and experiences.

We welcome applications from young people looking for a school work experience placement. These normally last for one week, Monday to Friday, between 9.30am and 3.30pm, concentrating on the day-to-day work of the Museum work alongside the Museum team. We will need full contact details of the teacher responsible for co-ordinating work experience, any assessment requirements and a copy of the school’s work experience risk assessment before considering any application.

As well as work experience, we also welcome application from Duke of Edinburgh’s Award participants who are looking to fulfil their volunteering or skills section at Bronze, Silver or Gold level. You must already be enrolled with a licensed organisation (school, youth club, DofE Direct, etc.) and we will require the contact details of your Award leader before considering any application.
