Volunteer at Alnwick Playhouse

Do you enjoy theatre, dance and film?

Do you want to help a local charity and be a part of the local community?

Would you appreciate a flexible volunteer role that welcomes your support as and when you are free to commit?

Then look no further!

We are always happy to add to our existing team of volunteers and are happy to speak to anyone who would be interested.  We are a happy team and we want to share our enthusiasm and passion for our programme with our volunteers and patrons alike.  

Front of house volunteers essentially meet and greet patrons to our venue; check tickets; perhaps sell refreshments and merchandise; are seated inside the auditorium for the show and would need to help staff evacuate patrons in the event of a fire or emergency.

Technical volunteers help us to welcome, support and engage with the artiste(s); providing a friendly, local and personal welcome to our venue.  They will be able to observe, assist or take part in technical roles such as: prepping the venue, get-ins, get-outs and live shows (where possible).

As the auditorium and backstage both have steps we do need volunteers to be mobile and in good health, but the roles are flexible and there is only a small amount of training to undertake.  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or simply want to learn more about the roles please contact us on 01665 660550 or email volunteers@alnwickplayhouse.co.uk

Under 18s – For anyone under 18 who is looking to get involved with supporting Alnwick Playhouse/the arts or gaining experience in our sector, we would also welcome your support with our Youth Theatre.  By becoming a Youth Theatre member you can gain valuable experience, have fun and develop your skills.  For example, you could become a YT leader.  This would help with drama skills development and leadership skills.  Please email our Youth Theatre Director Sarah McLane to discuss possible opportunities sarah.mclane@alnwickplayhouse.co.uk
