Volunteers are the driving force of the festival! With events in multiple venues across the weekend, we always need people to help us set up and clear away, welcome guests, guide our authors and workshop facilitators around where necessary and many other things! Volunteer for the whole weekend, for a day or just one event, we have opportunities for everyone. We are now accepting volunteer applications for our 2026 festival, running from July 10th - 12th with an extended schools programme from July 6th - 10th.
