Guildford Opera - volunteer opportunities

Guildford Opera is seeking volunteers to help with our productions (and more)!
We have a range of roles to suit different skills, interests and time commitments. Whether you’d like to get involved just once or on an ongoing basis, we’d love to hear from you.
Our next production is in May 2026, but there are opportunities to get started throughout the year. We’re flexible, and we’ll work with you to fine-tune your role. Current opportunities include:
-
Stage Management / Stage Crew – a few days a year
-
Costume Coordinator – a few hours a week, starting by February 2026 (earlier if possible)
-
Front of House Volunteers – a few evenings a year
-
Fundraising Volunteer – ad hoc/a few hours a month
We’d also love to hear from people with other skills, such as carpentry or general handywork, who might be happy to help out on a casual basis. For most roles, no prior experience is necessary.
No need to commit long-term – you can try a role and see how it goes! To let us know you're interested in volunteering with us, please scroll to the top of this page and click on Fill in an application form (on the right-hand side of this advert). We look forward to hearing from you!
The Spike Heritage Centre (Guildford)
Mission Statement
The Spike Heritage Centre is one of the few buildings remaining from Guildford's Workhouse in the Poor Law era, which housed the forgotten classes of Victorian England. The Vagrants and Casual Ward, known as The Spike was built in 1906 to house vagrants and low paid workers. After the Poor Laws ended in 1929, it continued as a night hostel until the mid 1960s. The NHS took over the site becoming St Lukes Hospital, operational until the mid 1990s when the new Royal Surrey hospital was opened. The majority of the workhouse site was redeveloped, but due to the efforts of local campaigners, the Casual Ward was saved and remains as a historic building with lots of stories to tell. Individual visitors and groups are welcome to explore this unique building with guides providing the insight about how the poor were treated in a bygone age.
