Overview
Eden Court’s mission is to inspire people to discover and love the arts by bringing the world to the Highlands and sharing Highland culture with the world. The Lead Programmer has a central role to play in this by securing an exciting, diverse and genre-spanning live performance programme from across Scotland, the UK and internationally, as well as through producing projects which showcase the best of the Highlands’ creative talent.
Each year Eden Court presents in the region of 350 performances of 175 different shows, seen by around 150,000 people.

The Lead Programmer will have oversight of this programme, working with the Live Performance team to deliver a high-quality and diverse programme that appeals to a wide range of audiences.
Eden Court also produces its own shows and projects, including our annual music festival, Under Canvas, and co-productions such as a 3-year partnership with Aberdeen Performing Arts and Capital Theatres. Within this strand sits an artist support scheme, Eden Court Connect. The Senior Producer leads on this area of work with support from the Lead Programmers and the rest of the Live Performance team.
