Abbey Theatre - Amharclann na Mainistreach

Volunteer in the Abbey’s marketing department

At the Abbey Theatre we are indebted to a network of committed Volunteers who help us run and develop our organisation. In doing so, our Volunteers also play a vital role in promoting and sustaining Ireland’s national theatre, while enjoying a unique opportunity to engage with the organisation behind the scenes.

Since January 2009 we have welcomed almost 100 Volunteers into the marketing department to assist with show promotion. This involves tasks such as envelope stuffing, organising mass mail campaigns, press cuttings, and data processing. In exchange, Volunteers receive a complimentary ticket to an Abbey Theatre production (tickets valid for preview performances on the Abbey or Peacock stage, subject to availability).

At present, most volunteering opportunities take place during office hours (Monday – Friday, 10am – 5pm). Volunteers are contacted to participate in these sessions in rotation.

To register your interest in the marketing department’s Volunteering programme, contact Fergus Hannigan on +353 1 87 97 314 or email .
