Current Opportunities
First Steps Touring Bursary 2026
A micro-bursary funding for new and original performance work which shows potential to move beyond scratch stage and into an extended life, touring to schools or libraries in Devon.
Doorstep Arts, Exeter Northcott, Theatre Alibi and Villages in Action are offering a bursary opportunity in 2026 to support the development of original theatre for young audiences in Devon. These targeted bursaries aim to deepen the quality of work that is available for families and young audiences in Devon and to provide progression support to exciting regional artists who are keen to grow their practice and make work. We will provide support for exciting ideas for performances which honour children’s creative and critical potential, and for artists who are making work which respects children & young people’s intelligence, capacity and active agency.

We’re inviting South-West based theatre companies and performance artists to apply for our Scratch Night at the Barnfield Theatre during ELEVATE FESTIVAL, a week-long celebration of all the artists and work that has come through our programme this year. The Scratch night will take place on Monday 2nd November at the Barnfield Theatre.
This is an opportunity to trial 20 minutes of new work in front of a live audience. The performance may be anything from an excerpt of a new play, stand-up comedy, dance, or live art performance. We are unable to accept films. The material must be a new idea which has not been performed for a paying audience elsewhere.
Deadline for Applications: 10am on Monday 28th September 2026.
Performances will take place on: Monday 2nd November 2026, 7 – 9pm
Volunteer
Volunteers are a vital part of the Northcott team, whether they’re helping us look after audiences at the theatre Front of House or getting involved in specific projects and initiatives.
We are lucky to have a fantastic front of house volunteer team who work alongside us to greet our customers and make sure they have the best experience.
We actively recruit for volunteers at different points throughout the year – we’re not actively recruiting now, but to register your interest for when we are, please contact jobs@exeternorthcott.co.uk.
