Are you interested in becoming a volunteer with Polka?
Polka first opened the doors to our ground-breaking theatre venue for children way back in 1979. Since then we have welcomed over 3.5 million visitors, an exciting and stimulating theatre venue exclusively for children age 0-12 year olds which set new standards in children’s theatre.
This year we are celebrating our 40th anniversary and we’re looking for local people to volunteer to get involved with a range of different activities throughout this time.
There are ongoing roles, short term volunteering opportunities and opportunities for students available.
To learn more about our volunteering programme, or to register your interest please email Hilary O’Connor.
