The previous group of mystery shoppers, who reported to their last meeting in March made a valuable contribution to the New Wolsey and a number of improvements have been implemented as a result of their feedback.

Head of marketing, Andrew Burton, said: "The mystery shopper scheme has a very useful exercise for us.

"By recruiting a new team we will continue to monitor our service and respond to the needs of our customers.

"We'd especially like to hear from young people, people who are new to the area, people from a variety of cultural backgrounds and people who don't usually set foot inside a theatre."

Pulse is the New Wolsey's second annual fringe festival of new blood and emerging talent.

It runs from May 8 to June 22 and covers a broad range of drama, music, dance, comedy, youth theatre, storytelling and visual arts.

It has something new almost every night so the willing mystery shoppers promise to be spoilt for choice.

Anyone interested in joining the new team of mystery shoppers is asked to contact the theatre by May 1 with details of age, background and interests useful to contributing to the mystery shopper scheme.

Places on the team cannot by guaranteed to replies will be sent to everyone applying.
