Summer Work Experience

A work experience student, smiling broadly, repositions a stage light.

Each year, artsdepot offers a week-long work experience placement for young people in years 10 – 13.

Each year, we offer a week-long placement for a group of young people in Years 10 – 13. Participants spend time with each department in the venue and experience what it’s like to run a busy arts centre. They also work towards Bronze Arts Award qualifications.

We welcome applications from any young person in Years 10 – 13 with an interest in the arts – you don’t need to have any previous experience.

Our next Work Experience Week will be from Monday 13 – Friday 17 July 2026.

Applications for Work Experience Week 2026 will open on Fri 10 Oct.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via participation@artsdepot.co.uk.

It was so useful and everyone was so welcoming. I already loved the arts but now I just love it even more!

I learnt so much about what work is like in different departments in an arts centre like artsdepot. I really liked how each workshop incorporated different activities, and how we got to complete the Bronze Arts Award

The week was educational and informative. I learnt a lot about how artsdepot runs. It allowed me to gain tools that I may need for the future not only from the speakers but from my peers as well.
