Are you aged 18+, interested in the arts and culture and happy to meet new people? 

Every year we work with a small army of volunteers who help us to bring the festival to life. Volunteering roles include stewarding, ushering, box office duty, invigilation and helping to take care of our artists and our audiences.

If you are interested in getting involved, - e-mail info@cairdefestival.com, with 'Volunteer' in the subject line. We look forward to welcoming you on board!
