CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
The Bristol Shakespeare Festival
is a volunteer run organisation, playing host to some of the UK’s most
impressive touring theatre companies every July. The Festival looks to use
iconic, unusual and much loved spaces to bring Shakespeare to life in our magnificent
city.
WE NEED YOUR
HELP!
The Bristol Shakespeare Festival would
not be able to run without the passion and enthusiasm of its volunteers.
During the festival weeks (8th
June – 29th July 2016) we have ten touring theatre companies
descending upon Bristol. With over fifty performances, we are looking for a
dedicated team of festival volunteers to help these events run smoothly.
Roles will include: ushering
audience members, taking and checking tickets, collecting on-the-door payment, acting
as a point of contact for audience members, helping to ensure smooth-running of
performances, responding to queries and working with the volunteer manager to
maintain a safe environment for all attendees.
All volunteers are able to watch performances for free.
A training session will be
scheduled prior to festival start date. The festival manager will liaise with
all volunteers to determine date availability.
CRB/DBS certificates, first aid
training and previous experience in similar roles would be useful, but are not
a requirement. We are looking for people who want to experience the festival as
part of our team – so enthusiasm, a love for working with the general public
and a passion for festival-theatre is all we need.
If you’d like to be involved,
then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Volunteer Manager to
express your interest:
Fabi Melegari - volunteers@bristolshakespeare.org.uk
We look forward to hearing from
you!
The Bristol Shakespeare Festival Team
