Volunteer applications are open now!

Do you want to bump shoulders with world-renowned artists, be part of our festival team and experience the best music, visual arts and theatre at close quarters?

We are looking for enthusiastic and committed volunteers (18+) before, during and after this year’s festival (7-11 June).

The festival simply cannot happen without the help of a small army of volunteers, and it’s a great way to gain experience in arts and event management.

Roles available include

  • Stewarding & ushering
  • Ticketing and Accreditation
  • Information Services: answering queries and giving directions
  • Market Research/Audience Survey

Our volunteer programme also includes a variety of ad hoc roles which may vary each year.

How to Apply?
