Octagon Theatre Buddies

We are looking for volunteers to be an important and valued part of our Arts Engagement & Outreach programme at the Octagon Theatre & Westlands Entertainment Venue. Volunteering at The Octagon Theatre & Westlands Entertainment Venue as an Octagon Buddy will provide rewarding and enjoyable experiences supporting patrons that might not feel confident in coming to the theatre alone, haven’t been before or don’t know what to expect and need a little additional support.

Our Octagon Buddies will act as companions and advocates for our patrons, supporting people to experience the theatre and set foot in our venues, who without this support would not have done so previously.

Our Octagon Buddies will be called upon when we receive a request for a buddy by a member of the public, who will then have the opportunity to volunteer if available. Our trained Octagon Buddies will then be paired with a patron who has bought a ticket for an event but would like some support whilst attending. Your ticket to shows and events will be provided free of charge when you are volunteering, we are simply asking for your time and commitment to the project.
