About the Fairs

Funded by Arts Council England, East, this is the third consecutive year that the Creative Careers Fairs have been run. Last year over 1,000 young people attended the Fairs and received one-to-one advice on education, training and jobs in the arts and creative industries.

The Junction in Cambridge, The Garage in Norwich and The Hat Factory in Luton host the Fairs, with additional contributions from FDMX and the Young People's Arts Award.

The Creative Industries

The Creative and Cultural Industries is one of the fastest growing sectors in the British economy; contributing two new jobs for every one created elsewhere. Between them, the live performance and music industries alone contribute over £12 billion per annum to the UK economy. The creative industries are growing faster in the East of England than any other region in the UK and this trend is predicted to continue.
