Volunteering

Interested in volunteering? The New Wolsey Theatre currently enlists volunteers in the following roles within the organisation:

Front of House Ushers

Volunteering with us as an usher is a great way to get involved in your local theatre and provide the same warm welcome that you’re used to on your visits to us.

As a volunteer usher you’ll be involved in:

• Checking tickets and guiding people to their seats
• Selling programmes and ice-creams
• Providing friendly and helpful customer service
• Helping keep our audiences safe

Shifts generally last between 3-4 hours depending on the show. You must be aged 16 and over to join us and all we ask is that you’re committed to helping out your local theatre. There will be the opportunity to receive free tickets, attend guest nights and other events as a thanks for your support.

We are currently not recruiting for volunteer ushers but keep checking back on this page and on our social media channels where we’ll post when we’re next on the look out for people to join our brilliant pool.

Unsure if volunteering is for you?
