Help create FutureMade Fest 2027!

Aged 13-18? FutureMade Fest is coming to Macrobert Arts Centre in 2027 and we want YOU to help build it from the very start.

We're looking for creative and enthusiastic young people to work with the Macrobert team to help shape a brand new youth-led festival. You'll help develop ideas for workshops, performances and activities, making sure FutureMade Fest is a festival designed by young people, for young people.

Along the way, you'll learn what it takes to create a festival, gain real experience in creative planning, marketing, budgeting and project development and work alongside creative professionals. You'll build new skills, make new friends and have a genuine say in an exciting new event.

No experience? No problem. We're looking for people with ideas, enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved. Whether you're into music, art, theatre, dance, film, design or simply want to make something amazing happen, we'd love to hear from you.

To apply, send us a 2-minute video telling us why you'd be a great addition to the Core Development Group. Email your video to creativeactivities@macrobertartscentre.org

If you're under 18, a parent or guardian will also need to complete this form. Please include the completed form when you send your video application.

Applications close on Fri 31 Jul 2026.
