Get involved

We’re passionate about creating opportunities for people. Our calendar is shaped by the people who use it—that’s why our lineup is so eclectic. At Porter’s, you can quite literally build the night you’d love to attend. We’re a blank canvas for creatives, whether you fancy pouring pints behind the bar, put on a night no one’s thought of yet, share your original music, or even stage your own theatre show. We’re up for it.

We believe art brings people together, and we’re committed to keeping culture alive, authentic, and accessible by backing the people who make it.

So if you’ve got an idea, a skill, or something to share—we’d love to make it happen.

To apply for a bartending role, please email your CV and cover letter to lewis@porterscardiff.com. Use “Your Name – CV” as the email subject line. We’ll be in touch if a suitable position becomes available.

Please be aware that we hire intermittently, as we won’t always have positions available.

All submitted CVs are stored securely for up to six months.

If you have a completed piece ready to share—or a project you’re looking to develop—we’d love to hear from you. We programme work year-round and are passionate about supporting local artists in Wales as well as showcasing brilliant touring productions from across the UK.

Whether you’re developing a new idea, rehearsing with your team, or getting ready to share a finished piece, we’d love to support your work. Our flexible 60-seat basement theatre and adaptable studio space are available to hire year-round—ideal for performances, rehearsals, R&D, meetings, and creative projects of all kinds.
