Experience this spring’s most colourful event as part of the festival team. Volunteers will participate in making the festival happen in roles such as programme production, customer service, artist and staff café, keeping the festival site pleasant, as well as in decorating, setting up and taking down the festival. As a volunteer you will gain practical experience in event production, get to know like-minded people, and be a part of creating a joyous festival atmosphere!
Registration for volunteers for the spring 2024 festival ends on 8 May. The earlier you apply, the better we can try to take account of your wishes about the volunteer role. Those applying by the end of March will enter a prize draw for 10 festival totes made from old World Village Festival banners. By joining the festival volunteer team, you can make a tangible contribution towards a better world. Come and join in, we need you!
