Bristol Cathedral is seeking an organised and driven Events and Venue Hire Manager to deliver both internal and external events. The breadth of the role makes this post both interesting and challenging, with no two weeks being the same.
Success in the role includes making a significant financial contribution to the Cathedral while also developing our reputation as a high-quality cultural and arts venue.

And some come to attend one of the sixty or so varied cultural and community events that we run each year. Then, of course, there is our civic role as a gathering place in the city to mark significant national events (most recently the Platinum Jubilee, the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III).
