Culture Volunteers - Open Day at Wolverhampton's Grand Theatre.
The first Open Day for would be volunteers at Wolverhampton’s Grand Theatre got off to a cracking start. The queue snaked out the door whilst people who had booked tickets, signed in.
It wasn’t long before people were taking time to get to know each other …
… or getting more details about the volunteering opportunities from the theatre’s Shannon and Katie .
Then it was time to have a look around the auditorium…
… where Shannon shared a little bit of inside information that got everyone looking upwards …
… to the beautiful chandelier. But what’s it’s secret?
Finally, there was still time to pick up an application form and fill it in if you hadn’t done that already ….
… or you could just enjoy a chat and make new friends.
Thank you to the Grand Theatre team for all your hard work launching the new volunteer offer, and for making everyone feel so welcome.
