Roundhouse Live Events Internship

More details

About the Roundhouse:
Roundhouse is an iconic music and arts venue in Camden. Since the 1960s we’ve opened up space for creativity to empower people and communities – day in, night out. We’re on a mission to raise the creative potential of the UK so we give young people and artists the space to experiment, develop skills and be part of incredible moments that go down in history.

The internship:
We are welcoming 2 interns to be part of the Roundhouse team in our iconic building. This is a practical programme, running 2 days a week over 4 months (16 weeks) including onsite work during our Roundhouse 360 Festival in April.

This opportunity is open to those aged 21 - 25 looking to gain entry level skills and experience in the creative industries. We welcome applications from people who feel they can bring their own skills, experiences and ideas to the table and empower those around them to do the same. We are keen to hear from young people who are under-represented in the live events industry or who have experienced barriers to accessing the industry.

The 4-month programme aims to equip interns with:
Knowledge of live events sector & practical experience of working in different teams within the Roundhouse workforce
Employability skills: support with CV, interviews and creative mentorship
Understanding of industry best practice and career development ‘in the field’ through working on events and in different departments of Roundhouse

Please note: we will be recruiting 2 interns for this programme.


Our Internship Programme will start the week commencing 6th April 2026.
