The Founder-Director of the English Music Festival is currently offering part-time internships of a minimum of six months. These can commence at any point during the year. The work will average between 5 and 12 hours a week (depending partly on the amount of time the intern has available) and can be done from home, although occasional meetings in London or Oxfordshire with the Director might be necessary.
Although this is a voluntary post, all expenses incurred in the discharge of the intern’s duties will be fully reimbursed.
This internship would be especially appropriate for those wishing to begin a career in arts, concert management or PR. Benefits include:
We strongly encourage past interns to remain involved with the Festival and are delighted that previous participants in this scheme have returned as volunteers or staff at Festivals long after their internship ended. Many have also gone on to careers in the worlds of music publishing, performance and academia.

Our warmest thanks to all those who made our first Festival at Dartington Hall such a success: to the staff at Dartington, whose help and advice in the months and weeks leading up to the Festival were invaluable and whose support during the Festival itself meant so much to us. Our warmest thanks, too, to our artists, for performing with such dedication; to our all our volunteers; and, of course, to our audiences, who supported the Festival’s move to a new venue with such enthusiasm. Finally, we are hugely grateful to all those living locally who were so positive about the Festival's presence in Devon and who circulated news of the EMF, distributed publicity material, and hosted artists and volunteers: your support is immensely appreciated.
We are delighted to announce that The English Music Festival will be making Dartington Hall its new home, and we are greatly looking forward to developing the relationships in Devon that we began to build this year as the EMF begins an exciting new chapter. The 2027 EMF will be our twentieth anniversary and we are planning a very special programme to mark the start of our third decade. Further details will be released during the autumn — when we will also be unveiling our new, re-designed and improved website. We look forward to the pleasure of your company at the EMF next year!
