Could you play a part in helping this year's Ripon Theatre Festival (RTF) to run smoothly?

Organisers of the fast-growing festival that runs from July 2 until July 7, are calling out for new volunteers to join the team for 2024.

More than 30 volunteers are needed each year to help look after visiting acts, marshal audiences and to help keep the public safe over the festival week.

Festival director Katie Scott, said:

"Extra pairs of hands (and feet) are particularly useful over the festival weekend (July 6 and 7) when street theatre, walkabout acts and community groups take to the streets and open spaces of the city.
"Pop-up events in multiple surprising places need volunteers to support the fun and daily events in Ripon Cathedral also need personnel. Tasks include setting up and clearing away sites, signposting and directing members of the public, carrying out audience surveys and accompanying performers on the move."




If you think you could lend a hand at any time during festival week (2-7 July), contact Volunteer Co-ordinator Tina Salden tina@ripontheatrefestival.org

She said:

“Volunteering at the festival is great fun and there are different roles to suit different interests and abilities, whether you like to be on the move and chatting to the public, or quietly supporting a weekday event.
"It’s a great chance to get up-close-and-personal to some fabulous performances, whilst meeting new people and helping bring colour and life to our lovely city.”


The Festival Volunteers are supported this year by Kettlewell Fuels, independent heating and fuel oil supplier.
