We are excited to announce and welcome Kyle Percy, our new Venues and Events Manager, to the Guildhall team.
Alongside all aspects of the Guildhall’s day to day operations, Kyle, working closely with Cultural Services Manager, will manage programming and events at the Guildhall and across Town Council managed spaces and services.
Kyle brings to this new post a wealth of experience in the events and entertainment industry gained over the past 10 years, ranging from live music and performance to the visual arts.
He is the co-founder of Liverpool based events company Boss Night who uniquely blend live music, performance and football supporter culture. They have hosted events all over the world in cities as diverse as London, New York, Kiev, Doha and New Delhi and have collaborated with organisations such as FIFA, UEFA and Liverpool FC.

He was Artistic Director at The Royal Standard, a contemporary art gallery and artist studios in Liverpool where he oversaw exhibitions and live events featuring both British and International artists. He also worked in the curatorial team at Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge who are famous for their collection of works by St Ives artists and artists of the St Ives Art Colony such as Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Alfred Wallis.
‘I have been visiting St Ives for several years now and the beauty and friendliness of the town has always left a lasting impression on me. Add to that St Ives prominence in the history of British Arts and culture, I’m made up to be here and part of the Town Council team. I’m looking forward to meeting promoters, artists and the wider community, to deliver and develop a rich, diverse and entertaining programme for all’ Kyle Percy.
