Trust in art celebration

Celebrate creativity and discover new perspectives at Quarry Bank

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join us for a special display of artwork submitted to our recent competition, developed and led by the Careers Tasters volunteers. This inspiring showcase highlights the creativity of young people responding to Quarry Bank and its surroundings through art.

The winning submission will be announced at 2pm, so don’t miss the chance to see the talent on display and support emerging artists.

There’ll also be opportunities throughout the day to get creative yourself. Bring along your own sketchbooks, pencils or art supplies, and take inspiration from the world around you – from the mill and gardens to the River Bollin.

The Careers Tasters volunteers are a group of 18–25 year olds who have been working with the team at Quarry Bank to explore what a future in heritage and conservation might involve. They’ve designed this event to connect young independent creatives with the site in fresh and exciting ways.

Admission charges do not apply.
