Patrons enjoying their picnic on the field.

Front of House

The Front of House team is there to meet and greet members of the public coming to see the performance . From the moment the patrons arrive at the theatre site the FOH team are there to ensure that the evening runs smoothly and our audiences have a great time.

This involves providing information, managing parking, selling programmes, showing patrons to their seats, and a host of other essential tasks. There is a great team spirit and many FOH volunteers come back year after year, enjoying the company and surroundings on a beautiful summer’s evening. Rotas are organised so you can volunteer to join the team for a couple of evenings or several, it’s up to you.
