We're looking for people who are curious, thoughtful and excited to share their perspective.

Join a paid creative programme for young people helping shape the future of Clandon Park, Surrey.
Following the fire in 2015, Clandon is being reimagined as a welcoming place for community, creativity and discovery, where history meets art, culture and new ideas.
This autumn, we're bringing together a small group of young adults aged 18-25 to explore how future visitors might experience Clandon. Through paid creative workshops, site visits, conversations and collaborative activities, you'll work alongside National Trust staff and creative practitioners to help develop stories, experiences and events for the site.
No previous experience is needed. We're looking for curiosity, fresh ideas and different perspectives.
