Thank you for
your interest in becoming the next Chair of Birmingham Hippodrome, a venue that has always been a home for creativity and change, constantly evolving over its almost 125-year history alongside the city we call home.
Ambition, drive and relevance sit in the very DNA of the Hippodrome and its team of 110+ staff and volunteers. Our new five-year organisational plan marks the beginning of a new chapter for the venue: a time in which we will be throwing open our doors to even more communities, artists and audiences and reimaging our building and our place in an ever-changing city and industry.
In 2024 we will celebrate our 125th birthday – an incredible one and a quarter centuries providing the region with (what we like to call) ‘goosebump’ moments. With a bold vision, a strong platform and a vibrant history to build from, we fundamentally believe this could be the most exciting era yet.
We are seeking a committed and ambitious Chair that shares in our vision for a “distinctive, world-class Birmingham cultural scene with the Hippodrome at its heart”. A leader that embodies our closely held values, ensuring the ongoing relevance of Birmingham Hippodrome for generations to come.
It is a critical role at a critical time, leading a committed and energised board of Trustees and a highly experienced Executive and Senor Leadership team, as we embark on ambitious plans to update our building and extend our reach in almost every aspect of our work.
