Hero Shallow Volunteers

For Volunteers

We have some great opportunities for you to join our Front of House Team, welcoming volunteers aged 16 years and over.

Be part of it

Volunteering as an usher is a great way to gain valuable experience working in a theatre. 

You can help our audience feel welcome and ensure they leave with a smile on their face. 

You don’t have to commit to a lot of time (unless you want to!) and we’d love to have you on board.

We are proud to be part of Eastleigh Borough Councils Volunteer scheme.

The Council’s staff team invite residents in the Borough to connect, learn and make a difference. They have brought together and are expanding volunteering opportunities managed by Council teams, making it easier to find and take part in regular, flexible and ad hoc activities.
