Have you enjoyed our programme and want to give back? Volunteer at TheatreCraft!

TheatreCraft is the UK’s largest FREE careers event for anyone aged 16-30 seeking offstage roles in theatre. TheatreCraft will take place on Monday 20 November 2023 at the Royal Opera House & across the West End. 

If you have attended TheatreCraft before, you will have seen our volunteers in the pink T-shirts helping register attendees, providing young people with information and taking photos/videos for socials. Our volunteers are vital in helping us provide a free event for young people to explore backstage careers.

This year TheatreCraft is bigger and better than ever, expanding across the West End - which means we need more volunteers! Our volunteers will be assigned a role on the day, which may include one of the following:

• Registering young people for the event at the Royal Opera House

• Registering attendees at workshops & talks across the West End

• Providing refreshments to exhibitors in the Paul Hamlyn Hall and Linbury Foyer

• Leading groups from the Royal Opera House to West End theatres

• Taking photos and videos for the TheatreCraft socials

• Taking notes on the day and writing up a blog for the TheatreCraft website

TheatreCraft will run from 9am-5pm. Shifts will vary depending on which role you take on. You will also be allotted a lunch break. You will need to be available all day Monday 20 November for the event and also part of the day on Friday 17 November for training (more details to come).

If you have an interest in event or project management, social media and marketing, or simply just want to get involved, we would greatly appreciate your time, effort, and talent to make this event a success! Volunteering is a great way to gain new skills and experience, meet new people, and make a difference to your local community..
