Volunteering
Become a volunteer for the Appledore Book Festival and you will be supporting a fantastic
local charity. You'll get to meet like-minded people, feel part of a team, and even have
the chance to enjoy some Festival events for free.
Our amazing team of dedicated volunteers support the Festival during our annual September
Festival. The volunteers help with a variety of activities such as setting up festival venues, dealing
with enquiries from the public, distributing brochures, checking tickets, car parking, and stewarding
events. You can volunteer for a few days or the entire 10 days of the Festival; mornings, afternoons
or evenings. There are also some opportunities to provide assistance throughout the year.
The work is not difficult but requires enthusiasm and a willingness to ‘muck in’ to ensure the smooth
running of our events and the overall Festival.
If you like reading, volunteering at the Festival can be a great way of learning more about your
favourite authors, hearing about the latest books, and generally getting involved with a subject you
love. Volunteer work looks great on a CV, too, and we are happy to give references.
