Open Call for Creative Roles

As part of our creative approach, we will recruit a proportion of freelance positions through open call outs to ensure accessible, fair and representative practices.

We are delighted to be able to offer a number of opportunities to local creatives across a slate of work for 2025 at both Mayflower Theatre and Studios.

If you require flexibility because of access needs or caring responsibilities, please let us know and we will offer further support including advance notice of production schedules, where possible. Diversity and Inclusion are central to our work at Mayflower, we are a Disability Committed Employer, and our recruitment process is open to all.

Whilst this is an open call and we are happy to consider all submissions, we strongly encourage artists who are based in or have links to the South and the Solent to apply. We are defining this region as Portland to Portsmouth from east to west, and Basingstoke to the Isle of Wight, from north to south. We seek to support and build a sustainable and vibrant artistic community in Southampton and the region, believing that having outstanding creative teams with strong links to our area will develop an ecology that will help culture thrive. Our ambition is to achieve greater diversity so that our organisation better reflects the city and country in which we live.

Mayflower is committed to providing exceptional theatre and arts experiences for everyone, both in Southampton and beyond. We work in our community and at our venues, Mayflower Theatre and Mayflower Studios. Mayflower Theatre is a Grade II listed building and Mayflower Studios is a new multi space theatre, both venues are in the heart of Southampton with one Mayflower goal of providing inspiring experiences for all.
