The Dukes in Lancaster

The Dukes theatre in Lancaster needs three new trustees to help achieve its ambitious goals.

The venue is a producing theatre, independent cinema and creativity centre and an essential part of Lancashire life.

Following eight years of audience growth and increased creative output, it is now planning the next phase of its development.

As with the majority of publicly-supported arts organisations, The Dukes is managed by a voluntary, unpaid board of directors and there are currently three vacancies.

The company is looking for candidates with a broad background and candidates with particular experience of capital development, fundraising, theatre production, and engaging with diverse communities.

There is an informal drop-in at The Dukes on April 10 to meet staff and trustees and ask questions about the board and the company.

An application pack is available from The Dukes web site at or by contacting Jacqui Wilson, Theatre Secretary, on 01524 598506; e-mail [email protected].

Closing date for completed applications is April 27.
