Action reminder: join our Anti-Racism Touring Rider Working Group
We are forming a working group to help us consult with UK Theatre members on the practical implementation of the Anti-Racism Touring Rider, which has been created to ensure that touring is safe and inclusive for all. UK Theatre will gather feedback from its membership and present it to the Rider committee. The working group will help guide this process, and we are looking for members to join.

  • Representing commercial and not-for-profit venues
  • Representing touring and production companies
  • Representing the four nations (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales)
  • People with lived experience of racism
  • Representing as wide a range of demographics as possible across ethnicity, gender, disability and religion
  • Venue staff who deal with touring companies (e.g. Theatre Manager / Theatre Administrator)
  • Skills in any of these areas:
    • Equality, diversity and inclusion
    • Human Resources / people management
    • Operations
    • Marketing / audience development
    • Wellbeing and pastoral care

The working group will run for an initial 6 months, with the potential to extend. Payment for attendance is available if required.
