Join our festival team this summer

February 8, 2023

Want to work at a classical music festival?
We’re putting together a crack team for this year’s festival and we’re looking for Artists Managers, Event Managers and Event Assistants to join us this summer.

Set in the stunning scenery of the Lake District, you’ll join a great team of festival staff and volunteers working to deliver a whole mixture of live classical concerts, masterclasses, online streaming, workshops and cross-arts events including dance, visual art and silent film.

From stage management, box office, and front of house duties to working with the UK’s finest musicians and more. This is an ideal opportunity for those wishing to gain experience working hands-on in the arts sector. Applicants are required to be available for the entirety of the period covering from lunchtime Tuesday 25 July until the afternoon of Monday 7 August 2023.

Event Manager and Artist Manager positions are paid posts, while Event Assistants are on a voluntary basis. However, for all team members accommodation and breakfast will be provided at the University of Cumbria campus in Ambleside throughout this period, expenses are paid, and volunteer roles receive a daily food allowance.

All team members will also receive first aid training (gaining a qualification valid for 3 years and transferrable to other posts).

A knowledge of classical music, having a full driving licence and access to a vehicle are all preferable, but not necessarily essential. Please include this information in your application.
