Call Out: Young Producers 2025

Culture Warrington is looking for 12 young people, aged 16 to 21 years, to be Young Producers for this summer’s Warrington Arts Festival.

As a Young Producer, you will have a say about what happens at Warrington Arts Festival 2025, as well as create your own event or activity as part of the festival. Whether your interest is in music, dance, visual art, comedy, theatre, photography or film, or you are looking to gain experience in producing, festival planning or event management – we want to hear from you!

Young Producers play a key part in the planning and delivery of Warrington Arts Festival (WAF).

 

You will:

  • Work with WAF’s creative team during half-term intensives and weekly planning sessions (in-person and online).
  • Produce your own performance, event and/or activity as part of Warrington Arts Festival.
  • Gain skills and experience in producing, event planning and delivery, marketing and project management.
  • Gain valuable work experience opportunities, meet industry experts and experience what it is like to work in the creative industries.
  • Be an important part of the event delivery team during the festival.
  • Get a behind-the-scenes look of arts and culture organisations and venues.
  • Get free tickets to selected events at Parr Hall and elsewhere.

This opportunity is open to young people who live and/or study in Warrington. 

Applications open on Wednesday, 8 January. To apply for this free opportunity, please complete the short application form here. You may also send a short video explaining why you would like to be a Young Producer (no more than two minutes) to Laura Mercer at [email protected].
