Immersive Actor / Experience Performer

We’re looking for confident, high-energy performers to join our team as Immersive Actors & Experience Performers for our live Prison Escape events.

Pay: £12.80-£16 per hour

Hours: 6 hours per event day

Availability for Upcoming Events required: 28th, 29th, 30th & 31st October, and 1st November

Additional opportunities may be available for extra sessions and events

Location: Shepton Mallet Prison, Frithfield Lane, Shepton Mallet BA4 5FQ

Job Type: Freelance/Self-Employed Contractor

Role Purpose

To bring Cove Attractions’ immersive experiences to life through high-energy, interactive performance.

As an Immersive Actor / Experience Performer, you will take ownership of character-led roles, guiding participants through live, unscripted experiences where your interactions shape each group’s journey.

This role combines performance, facilitation, and live event delivery to create memorable, story-driven experiences.

The Role

This role sits at the heart of Cove Attractions’ live immersive experiences, where performance, gameplay, and guest interaction come together to create something truly unique.

You will take on character-led roles within our experiences, including our Prison Escape events at Shepton Mallet Prison, bringing the environment to life through dynamic, in-character interactions. Working alongside fellow cast members, technical teams, and front-of-house, you will help deliver seamless, high-energy sessions that engage and challenge every group.

This is not a scripted or passive performance role. You will actively guide participants through the experience, delivering objectives, facilitating challenges, and shaping the flow of the game in real time. Your ability to read the room, adapt to different group dynamics, and respond instinctively is key to maintaining immersion and momentum.

While initially focused on our new Halloween event, this role forms part of a wider immersive events offering across Cove Attractions, with opportunities to support and perform in additional experiences as they are developed, including our Prison Escape Experience.

About You

You are a confident, energetic performer who thrives in fast-paced, interactive environments. You enjoy working with people, thinking on your feet, and taking the lead in live situations where no two experiences are the same.

You are comfortable managing groups, holding attention, and adapting your approach in real time to keep energy high and experiences running smoothly. You take ownership of your role, bring strong presence, and contribute positively to the wider team.

Strong improvisation and performance skills
Experience engaging with groups in a live environment (theatre, events, hospitality, or similar)
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Confidence engaging and leading groups in a live environment
Ability to think quickly and adapt to changing situations
Comfortable maintaining control of a space while keeping interactions engaging and inclusive

Desirable

Experience in immersive theatre, scare mazes, or interactive experiences
Background in events, hospitality, teaching, or facilitation
Experience in customer-facing roles involving group engagement
Interest in gaming, puzzles, or live experiences

Personal Attributes

Energetic, engaging, and enthusiastic
Confident and comfortable taking the lead
Adaptable and quick-thinking under pressure
Reliable, professional, and well-presented
Collaborative and supportive team player
Positive attitude with a strong sense of ownership over the guest experience

Pay: £12.80-£16.00 per hour

Application question(s):

Describe a time you had to improvise in front of a group?
Are you comfortable leading groups of 20+ people?
Auditions are planned for Saturday 5th September - please advise if you are available on this date.
Events are scheduled for the following dates: 28th, 29th, 30th & 31st October, and 1st November. Are you available for any/all of these dates?
