Paid Training Courses
At Citrus Arts we’re running a training course for young people aged 18-30 to come and train with us in outdoor arts technical skills. Trainees are paid to attend. Now booked up for 2026, trainees will learn:
-
Introduction to circus rigging and counter-weighting
-
Lanterns, outdoor lighting and fire
-
Welding
-
Festival infrastructure and production
COURSE 1: 9 - 27 March 26
COURSE 2: 13 April - 2 May 26
2026 courses are currently underway. Training sessions are held at our base in Hopkinstown Hall and in outdoor locations (which we travel to together as required). Trainees are paid National Living Wage. You don’t need any previous experience, but you do need to be interested in creating exciting outdoor events that bring communities together and be curious about how it all works! You must be available for the whole course. 2026 courses are currently going ahead. To find out how to apply in the future, or to discuss a young person, or any questions you have, contact James on James@citrusarts.co.uk.
