VOLUNTEERS
Our volunteer community is expanding!
It takes hundreds of people to bring Shakespeare’s Globe to life, and our team of Volunteer Stewards plays a vital part in making this possible.
Our volunteers are the public face of Shakespeare’s Globe, helping to ensure that everyone who visits has an enjoyable experience and feels safe, welcome and supported.
We are currently looking for new Volunteer Stewards to join us for the opening of our 2027 Summer Season in April 2027 and beyond. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to steward in the beautiful Sam Wanamaker Playhouse during the Winter Season from November 2027.
We reimburse travel expenses up to an agreed limit for all volunteers and provide a meal allowance for those working a double shift (a matinee followed by an evening performance or event).
Volunteering at Shakespeare’s Globe is a great opportunity for people who enjoy meeting others, care about creating a brilliant experience for our audiences and would like to be part of a welcoming and supportive team. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
APPLY TO VOLUNTEER
To apply, please read our Volunteer Steward role description and complete our online application form below, along with our equal opportunities form, by 5pm on Monday 11 January 2027.

Discover More“The best advice I can give to someone interested in volunteering is to give it a try! We are a friendly bunch so I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do. Please don’t think you need to be highly educated in the arts or in Shakespeare’s works. I am neither of these things. I just really enjoy the opportunity to be involved in theatre & making sure visitors have a wonderful time”
