Join the Board of Northern Broadsides!
Northern Broadsides are looking for new trustees to join the board, helping us meet the challenges and share the excitement of the coming years. As a small company and charity, we rely on our Trustees to bring diverse skills and life experience to the table. Our Trustees are dynamic and passionate individuals, who share the belief that the arts can change people’s lives and shape the places where we live.
We are also making an open call for people to join three of our sub-groups:
- Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) sub-committee
- Art Squad
- Eco Squad
We are particularly interested to hear from:
- First time Trustees, especially those aged under 30
- People from a working class background
- People from the Global Majority
- People with a disability
- People who do not identify with traditional gender categories
- People with experience of working in an arts venue
- People who live or work in Calderdale, although Trustees can be based anywhere

The closing date is 9am on Monday 28 April 2025.
About us
Formed in 1992 by Artistic Director Barrie Rutter, Northern Broadsides is a multi-award winning touring company based in the historic Dean Clough Mill in Halifax, West Yorkshire. We are delighted to be one of the key National Portfolio Organisations in receipt of ACE funding.
The company has built up a formidable reputation, our repertoire combines Shakespeare, European and English Classic plays and new writing. Productions are noted for their distinctive northern voice, strong musicality and clear narrative journey. Northern Broadsides’ unique theatrical voice is inventive, invigorating, and accessible to all.
Since 1992, we have toured the UK and built up a large following in many regular venues such as WYP, Stephen Joseph Theatre, New Vic, The Rose, The Lowry and often in unconventional locations such as The Tower of London, cattle markets, churches, indoor riding stables and Victorian mills.
Northern Broadsides continues to delight audiences nationally and internationally.
