Volunteers’ Week is an annual celebration of the contribution millions of people make across the UK through volunteering in their communities. 2023 marks the 39th year of Volunteers’ Week.

The contribution of volunteers is often unseen and unrecognised by many, visible only through the incredible impact of their volunteering, so taking the time during Volunteers’ Week to celebrate their efforts and all they contribute to our local communities, the voluntary sector and society as a whole has never been more important.

At the Regal we are choosing to celebrate Volunteers week with two different public events.

We are opening the Studio and inviting local people to book a stall, to hopefully include homemade crafts, Floristry, children’s books, pickles and plants, Cakes, face painting/tattoos, Plus tea and coffee from the bar.

We will also have a Regal Volunteering recruitment stand – with application forms and role descriptions available.

We would like to extend our thank you to Volunteers in our community: anyone who currently volunteers in Tenbury.

Proof of volunteering will be required when booking tickets in person through the box office – there will be a £5 charge for any accompanying friends/partners etc. Call 01584 811442

We will run a raffle with prizes from local businesses. Raffle tickets will be available when booking or on the night.

The film we will screen is Save our Cinema; the true story of Liz Evans, a hairdresser and leader of a youth theatre Carmarthen, Wales, who began a campaign in 1993 to save the Lyric theatre from closure. Alongside then Mayor of Carmarthen Richard Goodridge, they enlisted the help of Stephen Spielberg, securing a special premiere of Jurassic park.
