JOIN OUR VOLUNTEERS

We rely on our small army of volunteers, without whom we wouldn’t be able to entertain our audiences.

Yes, it’s true – the theatre staff aren’t paid – they’re all volunteers, and they form an essential part of every event that takes place.

We welcome anyone that can spare a few hours to give us a hand – it could be front of house and refreshments, working the box office, providing support to the actors backstage or in a technical role, and even helping to building our wonderful sets.
