In February we'll announce our Festival 2027 programme which runs from April to October, and we're looking for a brilliant backstage team to join us, with contracts of various lengths and start dates which can be discussed at interview. 

The 2027 Festival season promises a fantastic mix of plays and musicals, including world premieres and new writing. We work with some of the UK’s most prominent theatrical creative teams in our two world class theatres, as well as a variety of other spaces across the Festival Season. We bring people – artists and those who support artistic work – together, in an environment where creatively they can flourish and where everyone is valued. 

As a Senior Prop Maker, you will provide first class support to visiting designers, creative staff and props supervisors in the creation, refurbishment and alteration of props and furniture, as well as providing support for scenic painting and repairs.
