Crew Member

Canvas & Light is a friendly family run tipi company, providing beautiful event structures for weddings, corporate events and parties in Sussex, Surrey and Kent.

We currently have vacancies for seasonal crew who would like to work with us for the 2024 season. As part of our team, you would be setting up and building our amazing structures. This is a physical job with sometimes long days, but rewarding too.

If you love the outdoors, seeing some amazing places and working as part of a team, this is the perfect job.

Experience isn't necessary, but a bonus if you have it. You will be fully trained in all aspects of building these awesome structures from floor to canvas.

Our season will run from beginning of June to mid September and we have a busy calendar of events during those months.

You do not have to be available for the full season to apply.
