Summer in Southside (3 August, 24-25 August) will see the area around Birmingham Hippodrome transformed where families and visitors can enjoy the best in circus performances, dance and drama. Highlights are set to include a gigantic 20ft storytelling robot, mesmerising dance using shopping trolleys as you have never seen before and an opportunity to run away with the circus with the incredible NoFit State Circus who return to the city by popular deman.

We are looking for volunteers to help with a range of responsibilities including Event Stewards, Marketing and Promotion eg: Flyering and Production assistants to ensure both events become two of the highlights of the summer.

Volunteers will need to be able to commit to at least one training session ahead of the event and shifts will be split into morning and afternoon/evenings.

Those involved will be provided with training and certification and there is a chance for members to also be involved with other events with other arts organisations as part of Birmingham Arts Bank Volunteer Scheme.
