Volunteer for us
Our volunteers have been at the heart of the Lowry since we opened in 2000. As one of the largest volunteer programmes of any cultural venue in the country, we are incredibly proud of our Volunteer Involvement Programme (VIP) and the dedication and commitment that our volunteers (VIPs) bring to our team.
Our VIPS are often the first people that our audiences and visitors meet. They help us to provide the best possible experience for everyone that comes to Lowry, helping us make everyone feel welcome and safe. They act as ushers and fire marshals for the venue’s three theatre spaces, selling programmes and merchandise, running the cloakroom and assisting our Front of House Management Team.
