Job Summary
We're looking for a dynamic Festival Co-ordinator to play a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient and effective planning and delivery of the 2025 Festival, with a particular focus on managing artist liaison.
Job Description
Background
In 2010, The Stables in Milton Keynes produced IF: Milton Keynes International Festival to great media and public acclaim. The pilot Festival was developed in response to Arts Council England's ambition to stimulate the level of investment in the arts in Milton Keynes. The funding acted as a catalyst to draw in a range of other public and private sector partners and enabled us to deliver a multi-site, mixed art form festival engaging with large audiences. Following the success of the 2010 pilot, ACE agreed to support the development of a significant biennial festival. We continue to present '10 Amazing Days' every other year across Milton Keynes with the support of public funding, private support, earned income and individual giving.
The next festival is scheduled for 18 - 27 July 2025.
