Event Volunteer

Our event volunteers will be the first people visitors will meet when they enter the Minster for a special event or activity. It will be your role to provide a warm and informative welcome, helping visitors find their way around the space and get the most out of their visit. You will need to be perceptive and understanding of the visitors needs. As the Minster relies heavily on donations to maintain the building and the church you will need to be comfortable with directing people to donate. As an event volunteer you will also need to keep the Minster clean and tidy for visitors. You may be required to help build and break for events, including putting out seating and erecting staging. Event volunteers may also be required to volunteer at events advertising and promoting the Minster e.g. volunteer fairs, local events and festivals.
