Participants gain hands-on experience across various departments, including marketing, technical production, and event coordination. This opportunity allows individuals to explore the behind-the-scenes workings of a professional arts venue, develop practical skills, and learn from industry professionals in a supportive and creative environment.

As a small team we cannot guarantee a work experience placement so we will use the information you provide on our application form to see if our dates and activities align.

We will re open applications in 2027. Please check this page again soon.

Creative Careers Programme

This November we are delighted to collaborate with the Cultural Compact, local universities and Lighthouse, Poole as part of the Creative Careers programme. This programme invites schools across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole to take part in a free, brand-new, interactive creative careers event designed especially for Year 9 students, highlighting the range of job opportunities within the creative industry.
