Opening the door to a new type of tourist

Torbay Culture, TDA and the English Riviera BID Company have set their sights on increasing the number of cultural tourists coming to the destination by developing new holiday itineraries, trails and guides to share the real, authentic story of the area.

OPPORTUNITY: LEAD PRODUCER (FREELANCE)

We are seeking an experienced, dynamic Lead Producer to execute the development and successful delivery of Torbay’s Great Place Scheme Cultural Programme, an ambitious year-long programme of cultural happenings across Torbay’s three towns, key cultural venues, new spaces and in the public realm.

OPPORTUNITY: CREATIVE COMMISSIONING LEAD (freelance/organisation)

Torbay is a growing centre for creative commissioning. Artists and cultural organisations are increasing the health and wellbeing of residents by bringing their creative skills into other sectors, collaborating with organisations such as the NHS Foundation Trust to help them achieve their own aims. Having recently completed a series of 'test and learn' projects in the health and care sectors, we are seeking a freelance individual or organisation to take the next, necessary steps that will fully embed this practice here, increasing reach and deepening impact.

HELP US TO PUT OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD

We are so proud of the team that made this happen but the funding for the Best Foot Forward pilot has come to an end. The programme really has been life-changing for the participants and we don’t want to stop these amazing people dancing together. We would also love to see this opportunity provided for other people. We need your support to carry on.

SEEKING CULTURAL TOURISM CONSULTANTS

We are seeking to appoint an individual or organisation to support us in developing the English Riviera’s cultural tourism offer, helping us to shape an all-year-round destination and attract a new type of visitor. If you have credible knowledge and experience of cultural tourism with a creative approach this could be the project for you!
