Join us at The Amelia for our monthly learning sessions open to home educated young people across the borough.

Blind and partially sighted adults are invited to explore The Amelia's collections through touch, sound and imagination.

Pupils are taken on a sensory journey, seeking out butterflies among the flowers, leaves, wind and rain they experience along the way.

In the summer term, we offer a work experience ‘experience’ for groups.

Are you passionate about photography? Want real experience, paid creative work, and the chance to learn from professionals? This opportunity might be perfect for you.

An exciting paid opportunity for young adults (18–25) who want hands‑on experience in the creative, heritage, or cultural sectors. You don’t need any previous experience—just enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.
