Opening doors for future makers

Thank you to everyone who took part in NMD 2024. 
 

We are delighted to announce that next year

National Manufacturing Day will be held,

once again, on the last Thursday in September.
 

Join in to celebrate UK manufacturing on

Thursday 25th September 2025.

ABOUT NMD

Following the overwhelming success of our three previous National Manufacturing Days in 2022, 2023 and 2024, we will now be holding National Manufacturing Day each year on the last Thursday in September.
 
On Thursday 25th September 2025, Manufacturers throughout the UK will once again be opening their doors. Members of the public will be invited into factories and sites for a behind-the-scenes look at how Manufacturers' facilities work, as part of this UK-wide Open House.

​

Local communities will have the chance to see the potential careers and jobs on offer within the wonderfully diverse manufacturing sector, as employers engage with all age groups - from school leavers, graduates, people looking to reskill and the local residents. 

​

For Make UK and Manufacturers, this is an opportunity to showcase the diversity of a truly fascinating sector,  the range of highly skilled jobs on offer and the amazing opportunities for reskilling and career development within manufacturing in the UK.

 

Manufacturers will participate in a number of ways, from a single tour to a full programme of events, with Make UK assisting every step of the journey.

 

Together, we will demonstrate the value of a manufacturing apprenticeship as an alternative route post school/college. National Manufacturing Day is a celebration of all of the industry’s sub-sectors including automotive, food and drink, aerospace, defence, chemical and pharma.

 

Put the date in your diary - we look forward to sharing this great day.
