With plans under way for the May return of The Late Shows, organisers are on the look-out for volunteers to help out across the two nights.
Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums, which hosts the annual free culture crawl in Newcastle and Gateshead, says it is seeking 'friendly faces' to act as stewards to ensure it goes with a swing. More than 40 art galleries, museums and historic venues are set to open late on May 19 and 20 for the event, laying on tours, activities and performances with a special bus service linking key venues.
TWAM says volunteers are crucial to the event and they get a lot out of it too. Those interested in taking part this year will be able to choose from a variety of tasks, including meeting and greeting visitors; answering their enquiries; handing out programmes; providing directions to bus stops and venues and also telling them about other places to visit.
