We need a first rate digital copywriter to start asap.
Chester Performs is a diverse producer of theatre, music, festivals and site-specific art. We are a unique arts
organisation in that we directly produce our work. That includes running in-house companies such as
Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre (the only full-time professional open air theatre company outside
London) and Ensemble Deva (a new international-class chamber ensemble), the latter forming the
backbone of the MBNA Chester Music Festival.
We play an important role in Chester’s cultural landscape by providing a year round programme of site-
specific festivals and events. We produce and stage theatre, literature, film, music, installations and
spectacular community events. This innovative work has been presented across the city on its historic walls,
on the river, in the zoo, in bars, castles, parks, shops, parks and hotels.
In 2010 we founded Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre, acclaimed as the finest of its kind outside London
and described as the ‘the northern alternative to Shakespeare’s Globe and Regent’s Park’ by The Guardian.
We have continued to develop the theatre since its debut and, in 2013, we welcomed 16,000 theatre-goers
into our intimate 400 seat wooden O.
Also in 2013, we staged the first MBNA Chester Music Festival. The result was the creation of Ensemble
Deva, led by rising-star violinist Giovanni Guzzo, leader of Manchester Camerata. It includes section
leaders of the Hallé, Manchester Camerata and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestras alongside
acclaimed international chamber musicians. Our intention was to create a world-class chamber music
festival concentrating on northwest talent.
Our other projects include the Essar Chester Literature Festival, live art spectacular Up the Wall, the
delightful outdoor cinema Moonlight Flicks, the free, fun and informal Family Saturdays, newly acclaimed
pop-up empty shop programme Rogues’ Galleries and new festival of reading, writing and sharing
WayWord.
