This key role shapes how people experience The Bowes Museum—through ambitious public programming, large-scale events and a distinctive learning offer. As Experience & Learning Manager, you will lead the development and delivery of a dynamic, year-round programme for general visitors, families, schools and communities. From large-scale events and seasonal moments to workshops, commissions and drop-in activity, you will connect audiences with the Museum’s collections, building and parkland, creating experiences that inspire curiosity, participation and repeat visits.

You will bring together creative programming, co-production and audience engagement, working closely with colleagues across Curatorial, Collections, Production and Marketing to ensure a joined-up and compelling visitor offer. Central to the role is a commitment to co-production—working with your Producer Team to collaborate with artists, communities and partners to shape and deliver programmes that reflect diverse perspectives and lived experience, and fostering a culture that is supportive, proactive and delivery-focused.
