Through the work of the National Trust, we believe that all children and young people can thrive in nature, beauty, and history. Here at Quarry Bank, there are exciting opportunities for 16–25-year-olds to gain valuable hands-on experience.

Young Engagement Forum

If you’re aged 16-25 and want to make new friends, gain experience, and design great new events, then we’d love for you to join us.

Quarry Bank’s Youth Engagement Forum is ready to welcome enthusiastic people every month.

Work together with new friends to develop your ideas in a supportive environment to learn new skills and create activities for other visitors and young people to enjoy.

This is your chance to be a youth voice, and shape the direction and important goals the group will lead on. With historic properties, revolving exhibitions, natural environments, and a heap of social history, Quarry Bank has a range of things to suit whatever your interests.

No experience or knowledge is necessary, we are interested in people who are keen to get involved and share their passions.

The meetings take place on the second Saturday of each month 11am-3pm. Please meet at Visitor Reception. 

Lunch will be provided, and travel to the property will be reimbursed.

To find out more please contact Bronte Appleby, contact details below.
