Young Producers Residency 2025–2026
Paid Opportunity | Ages 18–25 | Part-time | You can be based anywhere in the UK (we’re in London)
Deadline: 11pm on Sunday 11 May
Are you passionate about music and want to make your own event happen? Do you have ideas that bring people together, celebrate culture, or create new sounds?
Marsm is looking for three young creatives (aged 18–25) to join our Young Producers Residency – a 9-month, paid opportunity where you’ll learn how to produce your own music event from start to finish. This is a commitment of 30 hours per month for 9 months.

You’ll work part-time with the Marsm team, to produce your own project. At a glance, this could mean:
- Budgeting
- Marketing & social media
- Programming & production
- Collaborating with artists and venues
- Running the event on the day
We’ll guide you through it all with training sessions, a dedicated mentor, and real behind-the-scenes experience.
Who are we looking for?
We want to hear from young people all over the UK who are:
- Excited by music and live events
- Interested in event planning, production, or creative community work
- Full of ideas and energy, even if you’ve never done this before
- Open to learning, collaborating, and growing your skills
Past producers through this programme have created:
A sold-out club night, a dabke dance workshop and an open mic night that still runs to this day!
What will you get?
- Training in production, marketing, project planning, and insights into the music industry
- A personal mentor to support your work
- Access to Marsm’s network of artists, venues and producers
- A chance to create your own event in London, your way
