Our requirements for event staff and crew fluctuates each year dependent on our programme of work. If you’re interested in working with us either as an Event Manager or member of our Crew please email a CV to info@nnfestival.org.uk stating which is your preferred role.

We will then add you onto our list of prospects and may contact you if we need some additional support.

 

Norfolk & Norwich Festival welcomes applicants from a wide mix of people. We are really interested in hearing from people who possess transferable skills but might not have worked in the professional arts sector before. We also welcome applicants from a wide mix of people because we want our workforce to be inclusive of people from a diverse range of backgrounds. We are therefore particularly interested in receiving applications from people who identify as disabled, people from culturally diverse backgrounds and people from socio-economic backgrounds that are currently under-represented in the arts.


To be one of the first to hear about new job opportunities follow us on social media, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
