Heritage Now

Heritage Now is a six-week placement programme with the Wicksteed Park Community and Heritage Team. The placement is a flexible programme that can be tailored to your interests and skills taking place one day a week over six weeks.

During the placement you will have the opportunity to learn about heritage archives and gain practical experience in a heritage setting from cataloguing and digitising archive materials to setting up and promoting exhibitions. You can also use our archives to research a topic/theme of your choice and create a project relating to Wicksteed Park with the help of our team.
