Canterbury Festival is seeking to recruit a team of volunteers across East Kent committed to ‘championing’ the Festival’s arts work within their locality. A flexible role, with limited commitment, ambassadors will gain invaluable skills and experience in networking and marketing within the arts, whilst making a real difference to their local community.
Canterbury Festival is Kent’s International Arts Festival and has over 200 events each year ranging from world music, classical music, theatre, dance, comedy, talks, walks, free events and the visual arts. In addition to the 2 week programme each October, the Festival conducts a number of education and outreach projects throughout the year – and needs your help to let those who may never have heard of the Festival have the opportunity to see events, take part in free community projects – and get involved!
As well as developing key promotional skills, as a Festival Arts Ambassador you will be able to count yourself as a member of the Festival team and network; gain valuable arts management experience for your CV; receive at least 2 free tickets to Canterbury Festival events – with the option to ‘earn’ more; get to know groups and make friends in your community; keep up-to-date with all Festival developments and gain a first hand insight into the world of a large scale international arts festival – and all this from the comfort of your own home or community!
You will help raise the profile of the Festival through promotional activities and act as a point of contact and representative for information within your local community and region. You will also have the opportunity to offer discounted rates for community groups you will be working with and will help get them involved in ticketed and free community events during the Festival and year round.
The scheme is ideal for those of any age or background: parents, professionals, students or arts practitioners or anyone committed to their local community and to the arts! No previous experience required.
If you would like to find out more about becoming a Canterbury Festival Ambassador or to apply please email Megan for an Ambassadors pack on meg@canterburyfestival.co.uk or call 01227 762952 .

A HUGE Thank You to all those who participated in the 2007 Festival, including participants and volunteers who helped to make the opening event so memorable, performers at the Fringe and the Lunchtime Concerts, the brilliant winners of the Poetry Competition and reviewers for the Kentish Gazette.
Not to mention those who attended the free events at the Festival Club and other events across the city, and all Festival volunteers and stewards who helped things run so smoothly.
Below are a few photos from the Opening Community Parade on Saturday 13th October.
Hope to see you again soon!
Rich and the Festival Team
