The Sugarhouse is the largest venue in Lancaster and the surrounding area, with a capacity of 1348 across two rooms we provide the biggest events for both students and the local community alike.  

We are looking for a team member who is passionate about delivering a consistent high standard of customer service and who can work in a high-pressure environment. You will need to work a flexible schedule including days, evenings, weekends. This role is customer facing and requires hands on operational tasks, as such you will be required to work at the Sugarhouse Venue which is based in Lancaster.
