Would you like to be involved in one of the North East’s most exciting arts festivals?
Durham Fringe Festival returns July 29th – August 6th, and is seeking volunteers to help make the festival a success again this year.
This is our 6th and biggest Durham Fringe yet! We expect to have around 140 different shows putting on close to 300 performances! Help us bring to life an unforgettable week of world-class performing arts right here in Durham City.
The activities we will always need assistance with include welcoming visitors to Durham, working front of house in a venue, welcoming audiences, selling tickets and merchandise, showing people to their seats and getting ready for the next show, helping production staff, distributing flyers and marketing materials, supporting artists and performers
Shift patterns to be negotiated - please indicate your availability in the application form. We require a minimum commitment of two shifts. Shift lengths vary, and are generally a minimum of five hours.
Previous experience is not essential – but a passion for the performing arts is! All volunteers receive a pass which gives them access to the shows.
We do accept volunteers who are under 16 but they would need to be accompanied by a responsible adult.
There will be a choice of two volunteer briefing sessions:
Wednesday 8 July, 6pm - 7pm
Sunday 12 July, 11am - 1pm
Please apply via the application form on the Festival website: https://form.jotform.com/260434405438353
We would like the opportunity to be accessible to people from across County Durham, and have secured funding to enable us to offer expenses payments of up to £10 per day, to cover travel and subsistence.
To say a big thank you from the festival, all volunteers are given a pass, so you will be able to experience the festival shows for free (subject to ticket availability on the day).
