Voice Magazine is a platform for young people to express their views and opinions on arts, cultural and media events, as well as growing their experience in these areas too.

Every day, Voice is asked to cover events, launches, performances and other arts and cultural events across the UK and online. We are now giving YOU the opportunity to cover these events yourself and in return, write a review of the event and upload to our online Voice Magazine!

This role is UK wide – therefore if you're in Wales, Scotland, England or Northern Ireland and aged 16-30, you are welcome to apply. You don't have to be from the area to attend the event – for example, if you are from Wales and want to attend an event in England, you are welcome to do so however we will not be able to cover travel expenses.

This is an unpaid role however you will have access to EVERYTHING we get invited to, so if you're an avid arts and cultural fan this is your perfect opportunity to become a part of our Voice Reviewers team and see even more! Opportunities are on a first come first served basis. As they come into our inbox we'll send them out to all reviewers and the first to respond will be allocated the event. In return, we ask that you upload a review of the event within 48 hours of it taking place. This role is for 16+ only.

What's included?

Whether you're into music, theatre, visual arts, public speaking, cinema and so much more, we get invited to exclusive press events (virtually and in person) and we'd love to you the chance to attend these events yourself – you'll be able to see new things, experience new events, make new connections, build up a portfolio, and so much more.

This year-long project, funded by the Victoria Wood Foundation, aims to foster in-depth creative relationships and share the voices of care-experienced young people, and young carers.

It is aimed at developing creative skills and confidence of young carers from low socio-economic backgrounds, building relationships with their local theatre, and offering respite from their caring duties.

Theatre Royal is a vibrant 200-year-old theatre located in the beautiful Suffolk town of Bury St Edmunds. Come and join us for a unique tour as head back in time to discover the trials and triumphs of the last remaining working Regency playhouse in the country.

Step on up and into the spotlight where the likes of Ian McKellan CBE, Dame Judi Dench DBE, Sir Peter Hall CBE and many more have gone before you. You'll even get to tread the boards yourself!

Tours are approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide accessible friendly tours due to the design of the theatre. Along with navigating around the building on foot, there are 83 steps included in the tour that cannot be avoided.
