Volunteers are the heart of The Gaiety; we could not run shows without them.
Our volunteers work with us in front of house, marketing and maintenance roles. They are a knowledgeable and intrinsic part of our team. Being a Gaiety volunteer means you are also indirectly supporting our creative learning team to engage local communities with the arts.
This year we are celebrating both the 120th anniversary of the Gaiety and the 10th anniversary of its saving and reopening.
“Volunteering at the Gaiety gives me a real sense of satisfaction and community. Volunteering is a good way to meet new people and by helping our customers we also help the town.”

Join us and help secure the long-term future of one of Scotland’s most important cultural venues!
Ayr Gaiety Partnership is the charity and social enterprise that runs The Gaiety Theatre and leads Creative Engagement work across South Ayrshire and beyond. The Gaiety Theatre has been a key part of Ayr Town Centre since 1902 and remains the heart of cultural life in the town.
Volunteering is a great way to make new friends, gain important employable skills, and give something back to the community.
