This year the Mystery Plays, presented by the York Guilds and Companies, will be performed on Wagons in York on Sunday 13th and 20th July 2014.
Volunteers are needed to help sell programmes and see people to their seats.
The plays start at noon and are in two halves therefore a volunteer may work one half only or the full afternoon.
There is also a Music Festival from 17 to 19 July in the City Centre Churches where volunteers are needed to steward for about 2 hours.
If you are interested, contact 01904 481992 or e mail juneparker142@hotmail.com
