Work Experience
We are always looking for ways to meaningfully engage with and develop the skills of young people and emerging artists through work placements.
All opportunities are advertised on the Working Here page of our website.
Due to the high number of requests we receive for work experience placements we are unable to respond to speculative requests.
To find out more about the different careers in theatre and the ways in which you can get experience, head to the Get Into Theatre website for a comprehensive list of opportunities, training and more information.
If you are a student looking for a work-based industry placement in our wardrobe department, please contact our Head of Wardrobe to find out more/enquire about the opportunities: hazel.fall@yorktheatreroyal.co.uk
York Theatre Royal Work Experience 2026
Applications for our work experience placements in 2026 have now closed – please keep an eye out later in the year for details of upcoming opportunities.
Work experience at York Theatre Royal has been an astounding experience for me. I have enjoyed hearing the story of the Grey Lady, seeing a dress rehearsal, going to costume hire, being an usher, interviewing an actor and going backstage! Thanks for everything!
