Pleasance Festival Volunteer Programme 2022
Pleasance Theatre Trust An unforgettable experience at the very heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe awaits!
The Pleasance Festival Volunteer Programme provides a platform for people of all back... grounds and ages to hone their skills in the creative industries, through playing an important part in the daily operation of the Pleasance’s venues.
The Programme runs from Friday 29th July - Wednesday 31st August 2022 inclusive. Positions are available across technical, guest, industry and marketing teams.
Volunteers receive a subsistence as a contribution to their living expenses, accommodation in a single private bedroom within close proximity to the venue at no cost, free entry to a programme of 230+ shows, access to training opportunities and much more.
As a volunteer, you act in a dedicated position with genuine responsibilities, supported by team members already working in the industry. The programme is about hands-on experience and peer to peer learning. It includes those of all levels of experience who share the same passion for the arts, which gives the venue its unique energy.
Often demanding and always fast-paced, a month on the Fringe can be an eye-opening experience. What you put in we hope you get back. Previous participants have cited the development of new skills, building confidence in social and diplomatic situations, the opportunity to put existing experience into practice and creating a professional network as just some of the benefits of joining. Not to mention having an unforgettable experience in an unparalleled hub of creativity and energy.
