⭐JOB OPPORTUNITY: We have a rare vacancy for an experienced and hands-on marketing manager to join the Depot senior leadership team, joining us at an exciting time of preparing for our 10th anniversary.

You’ll work as a ‘generalist’, creating and overseeing all marketing activity with confidence and efficiency, prioritising multiple demands in a fast paced environment. This includes all marketing and promotional activity for the cinema, restaurant and our events / workshops.

You’ll deliver and design innovative campaigns for a varied program of mainstream, art house and independent films; world cinema, documentaries and classic films; along with special events, guest speakers and workshops. You will actively promote the Restaurant, with seasonally changing menus, regular promotions and offers. You’ll work closely with our Events manager and our Education manager to ensure our varied events and courses are a success.

You’ll be happy to hit the ground running, complete varied (and at times random) day to day routine tasks, utilising new technology such as AI where needed and balancing this with bringing new ideas and strategy to life. Your communications skills will be top notch and you will know our local area and audience well. You ideally have a background in working in the film or the creative industry - knowledge of the hospitality industry would be very useful too. You won’t be afraid to take on occasional jobs as a photographer and you’ll have good design skills.

You will have the support of a full time Marketing Coordinator. You will provide direct line management to them, delegating effectively, coaching and providing development opportunities where possible.

This role is based in-house. The usual working pattern is Monday to Friday but there is a requirement to attend some weekend and evening events.

To apply, please send your CV and cover email to [email protected] no later than Sunday 18th October. Full job description available at lewesdepot.org/vacancies

What if you knew you could save the world, but the world called you an ambulance? 🧠

Actor and activist Polly Wiseman brings their compelling story of bipolar disorder to Depot in How To Go Crazy for Good - an intimate performance lecture combining raw honesty, neuroscience, silliness and a glitching PowerPoint presentation.

From training at RADA to believing they were Joan of Arc on a mission to save the world, Polly recounts their journey through mania, involuntary hospitalisation and recovery - with Mariah Carey, a plastic light sabre and some terrible dancing along the way.

Join us on World Mental Health Day for a powerful, funny and thought-provoking performance, followed by an opportunity to discuss what you've seen.

🎭 40-minute performance + 20-minute discussion

🎶 At Depot for one night only - the classic comedy docudrama from Michael Winterbottom, 24 Hour Party People, comes to our screens on Thursday 15 October.

🎸 Manchester 1976: Granada TV presenter, Tony Wilson (Steve Coogan), is at a S*x Pistols gig. Totally inspired by this pivotal moment in music history, he and his friends set up a record label, Factory Records, and proceed to sign a number of local bands destined to be some of the most influential artists of their time. First, Joy Division, who go on to become New Order; then come the Happy Mondays.

What ensues is a blackly comic tale of music, s*x, drugs, larger-than-life characters, and the birth of one of the most famous dance clubs in the world, The Haçienda. Told through the eyes of one man who was in the centre of it all throughout, 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE graphically documents the vibrancy that made Mad-chester the place to be.
