Background
Theatr Gwaun is a community-owned venue in the heart of Fishguard. We present a diverse programme of film, live performance, music, community events and festivals, serving audiences across Pembrokeshire and beyond. As we continue to grow our programme and reach new audiences, we are seeking a creative and organised Marketing Officer to help tell our story.
The role is 8 hrs per week (flexible, but with at least one day in the office monthly). We are looking to have our successful candidate in post by July 2026. Could this be you?
About Theatr Gwaun
Theatr Gwaun has been run as a community interest charity for the last decade. We aim to keep live events, film, music and theatre available to the people of Fishguard, Goodwick, north Pembrokeshire and beyond. We sell around 15,000 tickets each year for our events as well as hosting a number of other societies, classes and festivals. We need someone with experience in social media and marketing and who has a flair for creative and engaging content to help us grow our audience by keeping new and existing patrons interested and aware of all the different things they can enjoy at Theatr Gwaun.
The Role
