Chichester Festival Theatre is inviting young people aged 18-25 to join the CFT Young Practitioners Programme, building creative facilitation and leadership skills. 

Taking place between September 2025 – July 2026, the programme provides opportunities for individuals to be trained and mentored by theatre professionals, whilst developing practice as workshop assistants and leaders for Chichester Festival Youth Theatre. 

The programme combines practical workshop experience and development sessions, alongside one-to-one mentoring and coaching opportunities. Our 2025-26 programme runs over three terms and builds towards delivering youth theatre workshops and supporting CFYT’s participants.
