Volunteers

The Festival is fortunate in having a dedicated band of enthusiastic volunteers, who work in partnership with the festival staff to achieve the successful festival that audiences know and love.

There are a multitude of ways in which volunteers can get involved, including stewarding, brochure distribution, bar, flowers, proof-reading, coffee and refreshments, hospitality, venue assessments, programme selling, the festival’s pop-up shop, page turning, box office support, banners, website, social media, sponsor hospitality and many more. Others volunteer accommodation and transport for artists or help in myriad other ways behind the scenes.

Volunteers make new friends and play a vital part in the success and smooth running of the festival. They also help to create its famously friendly atmosphere. It’s a team effort and everyone has a part to play. An annual volunteers’ tea party in August provides a moment to celebrate and share memories of the festival.

New volunteers are warmly welcome. To find out more, please contact Gerard Simpson or use the web Volunteer Contact Form or post the Volunteer Form
