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. As part of the Visitor Experience Department, the postholder will also share the responsibility of ensuring that all visitors to the Cathedral receive an exceptional welcome, whatever the reason for their visit.
About Us
Bristol Cathedral is open 365 days per year and welcomes over 300,000 visitors annually. Visitors come to us for many reasons. Some come to worship at one of over twenty services per week. Some come to enjoy learning about the history of the building (dating back 900 years). Some come to find a quiet space in a crisis, or as a break in the middle of their working day. 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).
