We are looking for Actors to be part of the scariest and funniest journey through York’s most perilous past as one of our many infamous characters at York Dungeon.
You could find yourself tackling the role of The Torturer, a warrior from Viking Age York and a Witch, amongst others.
There’s a variety of characters to sink your teeth into. Each character delivers a short, scripted show, which is crafted to be interactive with our guests.
As well as maintaining strong characterisation throughout each show, you’ll also be operating and controlling special effects during your performance, to enhance the whole experience. At peak times, you’ll be performing shows every 8 to 10 minutes and as this is a dungeon after all, you’ll be working in dark, somewhat confined spaces.
These roles are seasonal with a minimum guaranteed hours of 5 per week. Our seasonal roles will start from Tuesday 15th September 2026 through to Tuesday 10th November. 2026 (with possible extensions thereafter).
-
You must be fully available for additional hours between 24th October - 31st October.
-
If your CV passes the screening stage, you will be invited to conduct a Self-Tape Performance as the first part of the Audition stage. If successful here, you will then be invited to the Dungeon for an in-person Audition.
-
The in-person auditions will be held in person at The York Dungeon on Monday 7th September.
-
The induction date will be Tuesday 15th September.
You’ll need to be flexible with working hours and days, which will include weekdays, weekends and public holidays as the need arises. Working hours could also include some evenings, for special events such as our ‘Dungeon Lates’ experience.
We’re bringing together an outstanding cast of theatrical actors to create a totally immersive experience for all our guests!
