The Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture programme will run from January 2025 to December 2025 and is a celebration of Bradford city and district, taking place across its city, towns, villages and greenspaces.
It will showcase the rich history of the district and spotlight its dynamic contemporary culture in all forms; dance and theatre, music and film, visual arts and crafts, food and faith.
As part of our plans to realise this, we are creating two new temporary venues for the District:
- Meanwhile Performance and Exhibition Space will be a disused building in the City Centre which we are adapting to include: a flexible underground events space, 200-seat black box theatre and an inspiring gallery/installation space.
- The Beacon will be a flexible venue that can present end-on, in the round, thrust and standing performances with a range of capacities up to 350.
We’re looking for a Venue Operations and Event Manager for each space. If you have experience successfully managing a venue, supporting a team to deliver brilliant events, and understand how to create a vibrant, inspiring welcome, then we would love to hear from you.
To apply for the role please send a copy of your CV and a cover letter (no more than 2 sides of A4) to [email protected]. We cannot accept applications without the required cover letter unless for accessibility reasons (please let us know if this applies to you).
