Would you like to be part of the magic behind Shrek the Musical on Ice! This is an exciting opportunity to work backstage and support a dynamic live production, helping bring the show to life. 

As a Backstage Support Volunteer, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. You may assist with costumes, help performers with quick changes, support stagehands with props and set pieces, move scenery safely and efficiently, and contribute to the overall organisation and flow of the backstage environment.

Volunteers are essential to the success of the production, helping create a seamless and professional performance. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in theatre, events, or performing arts to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced and collaborative setting.

Volunteers can commit to one full day, although availability across all three days is strongly preferred to support continuity throughout the production. 

Volunteering for this event takes place between 5th - 7th July 2026
