The Lenches Amphitheatre is much more than an open-air venue. Nestled in the heart of our community, it is a place where people come together to enjoy live entertainment, create lasting memories, and support the arts. What many visitors don’t see, however, is the incredible team of volunteers working tirelessly behind the scenes to make every season a success.
The Heart of The Lenches Amphitheatre: Our Volunteers
As a registered non-profit organisation, The Lenches Amphitheatre relies entirely on the dedication, enthusiasm, and generosity of our volunteers. Quite simply, the Amphitheatre would not be what it is today without our incredible army of volunteers.
From the moment one season ends, preparations for the next begin. Throughout the closed season, volunteers take part in regular Saturday working parties, helping with everything from building maintenance and repairs to painting, gardening, cleaning, and general upkeep. Their hard work ensures that the Amphitheatre remains a welcoming and enjoyable venue for performers and audiences alike.
But the volunteering doesn’t stop there.
Many of our volunteers are busy throughout the years, helping to raise valuable funds that support the ongoing running of the Amphitheatre. Others dedicate their time to promoting performances and events throughout the local area, spreading the word via posters, leaflets, community noticeboards, local publications, and social media.
When performers arrive, our volunteers are often among the first faces they meet. From welcoming artists and helping them settle in, to ensuring they have everything they need during their visit, our volunteer team plays a vital role in creating the friendly and professional atmosphere for which The Lenches Amphitheatre is known.
On performance days, volunteers are everywhere. They greet visitors, answer questions, help audience members find their seats, manage parking, serve behind the bar, sell refreshments, prepare afternoon teas and ensure the smooth running of the event from start to finish. Our parking stewards help visitors arrive safely, while our front-of-house teams work hard to make sure everyone has an enjoyable experience.
Every role, no matter how big or small, contributes to the success of the Amphitheatre. Whether someone gives a few hours a month or regularly volunteers throughout the year, every contribution makes a genuine difference.
