The role is required for Friday evenings and Saturday/ Sundays, during the Festival, which this year will take place between 9 November and 1 December. Stewards volunteer for as many sessions as they wish, (a session being a morning, afternoon or evening) 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; Volunteers work as part of a team, and help and support is provided.
Volunteers need to be able to pick the tasks up quickly, get on well with others and be mutually supportive. A cheerful disposition is needed, for greeting the Festival entrants and registering them.
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.
You can volunteer for one or more sessions. Each session runs for three hours and we ask volunteers to report 30 minutes beforehand.
