The Corn Exchange is a multi-venue arts organisation which presents a wide range of artistic work and creative activity throughout the year, both at its Newbury-based venues and in the wider community in West Berkshire.
The Corn Exchange is a growing, dynamic and exciting organisation in the South East, with a 400 seat mid-scale receiving auditorium, (we produce our own pantomime and youth theatre productions), a 40 seat cinema and a busy Learning Centre presenting workshops and classes and other activity which has a positive impact on individuals and our community. The Corn Exchange also runs 101 Outdoor Arts, a nationally recognised facility to support and nurture artists creating ambitious and brave productions for audiences across the UK and internationally, as well as programming and managing The Base Greenham, a visual arts gallery which is also home to resident artists and a workshop space.
This is a role managing our technical team and department, based in the Corn Exchange building but working with and at our other venues also.
