Freelance Fest

17th - 21st July 2023

Taking place across Leeds Conservatoire and Leeds Arts University.


We will support development of knowledge and skills in order for you to become successful freelancers in the creative industries, covering topics like budgeting and accounting, marketing, sales, presenting and pitching and much more. We will also deliver workshops on social media, drop in sessions with IP and copywrite solictors as well as inspirational guests.


The week is underpinned by the Prince's Trust Enterprise Program, which looks to impart essential business skills and ideas, and give you the confidence to go it alone. As part of the Prince's Trust offer you have access to mentoring (over the course of two years), and where applicable grants and loans.


Working with Leeds Arts University also provides an opportunity for you to meet other graduating creatives, growing your support network and potentially finding clients and business partners as a result.


There will be limited spaces available to attend the full week of the summer school (which includes the Prince's Trust Enterprise Program). however there will be drop in options for specific topics.
