AUTUMN CREATIVE MEETINGS

GREENBELT ON THE ROADThere’s nothing like meeting with Greenbelters and hearing their ideas for the festival. Last year, we went to Leeds in December and spent a great night at The Left Bank venue there. Some of the things we learned together that night are part of the programme this weekend.

So, this year we decided we’d go on the road in the autumn — travelling to Manchester, Birmingham and London this November. We’re looking for people who have programming ideas, experience, expertise, address books to die for, networks, vision and passion.

Some of the ideas that are shared and people we meet on these sorts of occasions change the course of the festival. We know that there’s wisdom and inspiration in the crowd. We are only a small office team based in London; so this is us making connections, spreading the net, listening more widely.

We know we don’t have all the answers. We make an ambitious and wide-ranging festival, punching well above our weight, but we need help in doing this. We’re especially looking to find and work with volunteer expert curators in various strands of the programme as we grow and develop.

We’ll only have 50 places up for grabs on each evening. Email programming@greenbelt.org.uk by October 31 to express your interest and we’ll be in touch. 

Thank you to all of our volunteer team leaders
