About the Organisation
Live performance is at the heart of what we do – providing opportunities and feedback for performers and enjoyment for the community.
What you will be doing
The duties may include setting up and closing down at the beginning and end of each day - ie putting up signage and posters; registering entrants when they arrive; collecting admission fees and selling programmes; and serving refreshments.
Volunteers work as part of a team, and help and support is provided.
The role is required for Friday evenings and Saturday/ Sundays, during the Festival, which takes place each year in November.
Stewards volunteer for as many sessions as they wish, (a session being a morning, afternoon or evening)
Age Range: We welcome applications from under 18s, including from 16+.
What's in it for you?
This role will especially appeal to volunteers who are interested in (mainly) classical music and speech and drama, and who want to see these arts flourish in Sutton.
There are opportunities to watch performances by some highly gifted young (and older!) entrants.
What skills will you need?
Volunteers need to be able to pick the tasks up quickly, get on well with others and be mutually supportive.
Good communications skills are needed, together with a cheerful disposition, for greeting the Festival entrants, making them feel welcome and registering them.
What's the time commitment and where?
Time Commitment
You can volunteer for one or more sessions during the Festival weekends in November. Each session runs for three hours and we ask volunteers to report 30 minutes beforehand.
