What You Can Get Involved In

We have a huge range of roles to suit every interest and ability — from front-of-house and hospitality to backstage, creative work and building support. If you’re unsure what might suit you, we’ll help you find the perfect fit.

Backstage & Creative Roles – Bringing our productions to life behind the scenes.

• Painting & Set Decoration – Help paint scenery, create textures, and add the finishing touches that make each production shine.
• Set Design & Construction – Ideal for practical minds — build sets, construct scenery, assemble stages, and bring creative designs to life.
• Wardrobe & Costume – Support our wardrobe team with sewing, sourcing, alterations, fittings and costume management.
• Props – Create, source or manage props used on stage — from vintage items to fun, quirky objects.
• Prompting – Support the cast during rehearsals and performances by keeping the script and ensuring the show runs smoothly.
• Sound & Lighting – Learn how to operate lighting desks and sound equipment, or shadow our technical teams during shows.
• Stage Management & Stage Crew – Be right at the heart of the action — moving sets, managing cues, organising backstage areas and keeping everything running safely and smoothly.

Front of House Roles – Be the warm welcome and friendly face of Bingley Arts Centre.

• Box Office – Help audiences with ticket collections, bookings and general enquiries.
• Bar – Serve drinks, chat to audience members, and keep our bar running smoothly (full training provided).

• Programme Sales – Engage with audiences, sell programmes and support production fundraising.
• General Assistant – A flexible role perfect for anyone happy to help wherever needed during busy show nights.

Behind-the-Scenes Support Roles – Not every volunteer role involves the stage, some keep our venue running behind the scenes.

• Office Admin – Help with admin tasks, emails, data input, and general support for our volunteer teams.
• Building Maintenance – Perfect for practical people — help with small repairs, painting, DIY and keeping the building in good shape.
• Marketing & Publicity – Help spread the word about our productions and events through social media, posters, photography, blogs and more.
