Tour Producer: York & North East Imagination Tour

Joseph Rowntree Foundation (2026)

As Tour Producer, I lead the planning and delivery of a region wide programme of imaginative, participatory events, facilitated by Rob Hopkins and delivered in partnership with 5 place Producers

My role sits at the centre of a creative, multi-location project spanning York and the North East, working closely with Rob Hopkins, the Emerging Futures Regional Team, local partners, artists and communities.

I manage tour logistics and delivery, ensuring that all moving parts are woven together with clarity and care, working closely with the Project Manager and York Local Lead. I am responsible for coordination with Rob Hopkins, local partners, artists, venues and audiences to deliver the tour. I provide support to place Producers and act as the central point of contact. I manage programme developmet, ensuring events are alighted within the tour’s aims. I oversee the tour evaluation and support with branding & PR, including woking closely with a film crew. I maintain clear documentation of delivery and take part in tour evaluation.
