Are you a creative, driven and experienced events professional ready to help shape the cultural heartbeat of Middlesbrough? We are seeking a passionate Festival & Events Manager to lead the planning, delivery and growth of a diverse portfolio of events, festivals and community programming.
It's an exciting time to be working in Middlesbrough's cultural sector with a number of major events on the horizon including Turner Prize 2026, Middlesbrough FC's 150th anniversary in 2026/27, our bid for UK City of Culture 2029 and celebrations planned for our bicentenary in 2030/31.
As Festival & Events Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in enhancing Middlesbrough's reputation as a vibrant destination for culture, entertainment and community celebration.
