Job Description: Actor Facilitator

Step onto the stage of history and make the Great Hall come alive!

This is your chance to transform a visit into an unforgettable journey through time. We are looking for dynamic and engaging actors to bring the extraordinary stories of the Great Hall to life, immersing visitors in the drama, intrigue and atmosphere of this iconic historic building.

You’ll perform as a range of characters from key moments in the Great Hall’s history, captivating audiences through storytelling, interaction and performance. You’ll play a vital part in creating magical, memorable experiences that spark curiosity and inspire learning.

A bit about you

You’ll thrive on engaging with people and take real pride in delivering outstanding visitor experiences. You’re confident, expressive and full of energy, enjoying the challenge of adapting your performance to suit different audiences and situations.

You may already have experience working in immersive theatre and will enjoy working with people of all ages, knowing how to tailor your approach to captivate children, families and adults alike.

An interest in helping others learn through engaging and creative experiences is essential. Experience in learning or engagement roles would be an advantage, but above all we are looking for performers who are enthusiastic, personable and excited about bringing the past vividly into the present.
