TrinityBridge announces new partnership with Chichester Festival Theatre

We are proud to announce a new partnership with Chichester Festival Theatre, one of the UK’s most loved and respected cultural institutions. For more than 60 years, the Theatre has sat at the heart of its community, inspiring and delighting audiences through world class productions and a deeply collaborative creative spirit.

Rooted in a shared belief in the power of culture to shape lives, the partnership centres on Chichester Festival Theatre’s Future Theatre Makers programme — an ambitious initiative designed to support early career artists as they take their first steps into the professional theatre industry.

Across the UK, opportunities for emerging creatives remain limited, with many talented artists facing barriers to developing and sharing their work. The Future Theatre Makers programme provides a vital bridge between training and professional practice, offering resources, mentorship and space for new voices to be heard.

At the heart of the programme is The Nest, Chichester Festival Theatre’s dedicated space for experimentation, development and performance. It is here that bold ideas are tested, refined and shared with audiences for the very first time — fostering confidence, creativity and sustainable artistic careers.

As the first organisation to support a Future Theatre Maker, TrinityBridge is proud to help remove barriers for emerging talent, open doors to opportunity and contribute to a stronger, more inclusive future for the creative sector.

Chichester Festival Theatre has an exceptional legacy of nurturing talent, championing collaboration and placing community at the heart of culture. We are proud to support the Future Theatre Makers programme and to play a part in helping emerging artists build confidence, creativity and sustainable careers within the industry.
Suzanne Collins, Head of Marketing at TrinityBridge
The Future Theatre Makers programme exists to give emerging artists the time, space and support they need to develop bold ideas and sustainable creative careers. TrinityBridge’s commitment as our first partner is an important investment — not only in individual artists, but in the future vitality of the theatre sector as a whole.
Liz McCarthy Nield, Development Director, Chichester Festival Theatre

Alongside this partnership, TrinityBridge is also a Corporate Member of Chichester Festival Theatre, enabling us to continue sharing the very best of world class theatre with our clients and celebrating creativity together.
