Volunteering at Hope Street
Volunteer with us.
Be part of an independent Liverpool theatre: welcome audiences, help shows happen and meet people who love live performance as much as you do.
Why volunteer
More than an evening out.
- Be part of the theatre. Help bring live shows to life in an intimate 85-seat venue.
- Meet people. Join a friendly team of staff and volunteers.
- Build skills and confidence. Customer service, teamwork and behind-the-scenes experience in a working theatre.
- Fit it around your life. Tell us when you are usually free.

How we use your details
Who we are: The Hope Street Theatre, 22 Hope Street, Liverpool L1 9BY.
What and why: we use the details in this form to consider your application, arrange your induction and, if you volunteer, to organise shifts and keep in touch about volunteering. We do this because you have asked to volunteer with us (our legitimate interests in running a volunteer team). Tell us about any support needs only if you want to: we use them only to support you.
Who sees it: our Theatre Manager and directors, in our secure systems. We do not sell or share your details, and we do not use them for marketing.
How long: if your application does not go ahead, we delete it after 12 months. If you volunteer with us, we keep your details while you volunteer and for up to 2 years after your last shift.
Your rights: you can ask to see, correct or delete your details, or withdraw at any time, by emailing hello@hopestreettheatre.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). Our full privacy notice has more.
