Calling all local groups, community organisations, and clubs! Applications for a concessionary day’s hire of York Barbican for 2023 and 2024 are now being accepted, as part of the lease agreement between the City of York Council and ASM Global.
In order to apply, proposed events should provide activities or entertainment that appeal to the broad community, be open to the public with no restricted access, and also support the initiatives of the City of York Council and their partners. Events that have a thorough programme and support community engagement will be given preference.
Councillor Darryl Smalley, City of York Council’s Executive Member for Culture, Leisure, and Communities, said: “The Barbican is York’s largest music and arts venue, a fantastic space and the successful applicants will enjoy a professional experience in a superb location. I’d encourage all interested organisations to get in touch!”
On a concessionary day, all fees related to rentals, backstage and front-of-house facility costs, technical equipment, front-of-house management, and stewarding will be accounted for. However, additional costs like box office commission, marketing, and additional employees for manual jobs are not factored in.
For further information and guidelines, please email andy.laslett@york.gov.uk by the 31st of May 2023.
