Work Experience Placements

Bath Festivals offers up to four work experience placements each year and is committed to providing meaningful and fulfilling work experience placements for GCSE and A-Level students.
The placements offer a range of opportunities to gain experience of festival administration, learning programmes, marketing and fundraising.

About Bath Festivals

Bath Festivals brings leading international performers, writers and thinkers to Bath every year to inspire, entertain and challenge audiences of all ages and artistic tastes. Energy, passion, integrity and innovation are the hallmarks of our festivals programmed by the highest calibre Artistic Directors, currently Joanna MacGregor, James Runcie, and John and Gill McLay.

Our festivals champion diversity and collaboration, celebrate the fusion of the traditional and the contemporary; open people's minds, and showcase the work of both established and up-and-coming performers - all in the unique setting that is Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to some of the finest historical and architectural sights in Europe.

We provide year-round learning and participation opportunities for children, young people and adults through creative workshops, gigs, master classes and competitions. We act as a central hub for the arts in Bath & North East Somerset, supporting the region's Cultural Forum and serving over 90 festivals, events and local arts organisations through the Bath Box Office.
