Each year, our team of dedicated volunteers plays a crucial role in the running of the festival. If you are enthusiastic, hard-working and would love to be part of a world-class music festival with like-minded people, you might be just who we're looking for.
With hundreds of volunteers involved each year, there are many exciting ways to get involved, working alongside our professional team to deliver a high-quality festival experience. Whether you want to support a festival you love, are looking to start a career in arts administration, event management or stage production, or are simply passionate about music, we can provide you with valuable experience in all aspects of running a festival.
Three Choirs Festival Volunteer
Credit: Delish Photography 2021Volunteering can be flexible around your schedule, and any amount of time you can give will be hugely appreciated. Volunteer roles can often be tailored to your own interests and may include a variety of different tasks across different locations. Perks such as free standby tickets for concerts are also available.
Once you have submitted the short application form and equal opportunities form, we will be in touch regularly with updates about plans and timelines for the festival. You will need to be available for induction and training before the festival, but this can be adjusted to your availability.
*Please read the Volunteer Charter before applying.
Volunteers @ Worcester 2024
Credit: Joseph Wong2024 will be my fourth year of volunteering as a steward at the Festival. I’m really looking forward to it - it’s a great opportunity to be part of such a fantastic week of music and soak up the atmosphere. Listening in on rehearsals and performances is a real treat and sometimes brings a delightful surprise, such as the fantastic ORA Young Composers’ Showcase in Gloucester last year - what an amazing event, combining new talent with the skills of experienced musicians.
