Job Summary
Lancashire Cricket Foundation is seeking an Exhibition Design & Interpretation team to develop a new heritage experience at Emirates Old Trafford.
Job Description
The National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) has awarded Lancashire Cricket Foundation (LCF) a Development Phase grant to create plans for a new heritage hub, stadium trail, and community outreach program.

New displays are also planned for the Stadium's Pavilion and in the tunnels and concourse areas around the ground.
Established in 1857, Emirates Old Trafford is the second oldest Test Match venue in England and has hosted international cricket since 1884. Over 160 years, the venue has evolved and hosted many memorable games and events. Lancashire's cricket clubs and leagues have also evolved, with a wealth of stories to share. Much of this history is preserved in the club's collection of memorabilia, including books, paintings, photographs, trophies, balls, and bats.
